Well, that makes sense, I guess. Granted, I don't know what size to expect, thus the percentage :-). I cannot just assume a PC browser, but also need to plan for mobile devices.
There is a really good example out there ( here<http://rvsoni.wordpress.com/2011/10/25/gwt-datagrid-with-pagination-using-simple-pager/>). Maybe I should just rework my code to mimic this example more closely. Maybe that will help me wrap my head around things. It looks like my assumption was right: CellTable and DataGrid are not, strictly speaking, interchangeable ( not without extra work ). To bad. Thanks.
