i did a little more poking around with ie. apparently this works as expected in ie8:
DockLayoutPanel root = new DockLayoutPanel(Unit.EM); root.addNorth(new HTML("north"), 2); root.addSouth(new HTML("south"), 2); root.add(new HTML("center")); root.setSize("700px", "300px"); dialog = new DialogBox(); dialog.add(root); dialog.setModal(true); dialog.setAnimationEnabled(true); dialog.setText("DialogBox with DockLayoutPanel"); dialog.setGlassEnabled(true); dialog.setAutoHideEnabled(true); dialog.show(); dialog.center(); but if i comment out dialog.show() and dialog.center() at the end and call those methods later on in the program (ie, i want to construct the dialogbox but keep it hidden until the user clicks a button later for instance), then the dialog box is rendered without the north/south regions in ie8. so oddly enough, if i construct the dialogbox and show it immediately, it works fine in ie8. but if i don't call show() immediately, then it doesn't work in ie8. it works correctly in firefox though! anybody with any ideas? am i missing something trivial?
