Jeff: Column 1 : Column 2 ; Column 3 Column 1 :Column 3 Column 1 : Column 2 ; Column 3
Column 3 has just "jumped around". It was at an X offset of 300, then 200, then 300 If I disable column 2, column 3 doesn't move. If I hide column 2, column 3 does move. This makes hiding column 2 a BAD thing to do. Column 2 is related to column 1. It is NOT related to column 3. Therefore, we cannot switch the order of columns 2 and 3 without damaging the user's understanding of the data being presented by the columns. I do not, and will not, hard code the positions of user interface elements. I make a great deal of use of HorizontalPanel, and do not use "Standard doctype" for anything (if / when GWT stops supporting Quirks mode, I'll most likely stop upgrading GWT, because I can't think of anything they might add that could be worth having to explicitly tell everything where to go). I've got three tables in an align left HorizontalPanel. The center table has one of the checkbox Column's that I'm concerned about. Hiding / deleting / removing / not rendering that column causes the table to its right to move. All these things are the kind of reason why disabling controls was invented way back in the early dawn of the GUI. The question is does GWT support that basic feature in CellTables? Do you know the answer to that question? If so, could you impart that answer to the rest of us?
