Thanks for the replies but I am not sure I can do much with those,
though I may not be looking at things the right way.
Let me try to explain a bit better (hopefully).
RootPanel.get(String id) returns you a RootPanel for the element with
the given id. That only works for certain "top level" elements.
So in the <ul> example below if I did this
<ul id="menu">
....
</ul>
and I do
RootPanel ul = RootPanel.get("menu");
I get back the <ul> block as a RootPanel.
However it does not appear there is anything I can do with it.
If I enumerate the children there are none. In other words the <li>
elements are not created in the "java universe".
I can reach the <li> nodes in the dom Element space but I am not sure
I can do much with them then (I need to hook up an event handlers at
the very least).
So overall the question is about what is doable with static HTML in
GWT. It's clear you can do everything with dynamic code. But if I have
a bunch of static HTML that I want to leverage where is the line? What
is that shows up in some form in the "java" object model (for lack of
a better word) and how much can be done with static HTML.
Thanks for the feedback
