I really don't like the idea of popping up a new window and then feeding it HTML. In this case it works nicely because the main page has HTML in it and the popup simply shows the same HTML but without the UI.
However, I can think of situations where there is a celltable with data and I want to print the celltable contents - in a printer friendly format. Now, there is no HTML (that could be fed into a popup). That HTML would have to be created. Remember I want to leverage the browser's ability to print HTML. I guess there are two options: 1) Clicking a button (to popup the printer friendly window) would have to create roughly equivalent HTML (as in the celltable) and feed it into the popup window. OR 2) Have the popup window do that logic. This where I was thinking of using another module. But I'm not sure how to do that. Another idea is to simply put the logic in a JSP. Then I'd need to check on how session sharing works between JSP and GWT. On Oct 27, 12:19 pm, Mike Dee <mdichiapp...@gmail.com> wrote: > Did that. Seems to work.
