I replaced RootPanel with RootLayoutPanel. Here is the EntryPoint from HelloMVP:
private SimplePanel appWidget = new SimplePanel(); ... RootPanel.get().add( appWidget ); activityManager.setDisplay( appWidget ); I replaced RootPanel with RootLayoutPanel: private SimplePanel appWidget = new SimplePanel(); ... RootLayoutPanel.get().add( appWidget ); activityManager.setDisplay( appWidget ); Maybe I'm a little too naive in thinking that would do much. Also, when I look at the page source generated, it appears a DOCTYPE is already there. Here is the page source generated by the GWT app (HelloMVP). <!doctype html> <!-- The DOCTYPE declaration above will set the --> <!-- browser's rendering engine into --> <!-- "Standards Mode". Replacing this declaration --> <!-- with a "Quirks Mode" doctype may lead to some --> <!-- differences in layout. --> If I create a simple GWT app (not Activities & Places) and plop a DockLayoutPanel in the RootPanel, it just works. Fills the page nicely without having to add any onResize handlers. Is there a reason why adding handlers would be needed in an Activities & Places framework (such as that provided by HelloMVP)? I'd like to understand that a bit more.
