Ok I see.. we don't use GWT 2.1 MVP so we have used a FlowPanel.

I just changed our application to use SimplePanel instead of FlowPanel
and it still works with a nested DockLayoutPanel (tested in Safari).

Thank you Jack.

this is from my application level DockLayoutPanel




and 
is where i want to insert other DockLayoutPanels.

i think the problem is DockLayoutPanel is a ComplexPanel
and cant be inserted in a SimplePanel slot ?

you might be wondering why i am not using other panels instead of
SimplePanel.
the thing is with GWT 2.1 MVP, for Activities to work, you have to use
a panel that AcceptsOneWidget !

I am going to experiment with it more.

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Hmm we exactly do this and it works.

We have an application DockLayoutPanel with header (north), side menu
(left), footer (south) and a content area (center). In this center
content area we often put another DockLayoutPanel which may have a
north element containing a toolbar, a list of selectable items in the
left and its own content area in its center. Works like expected in
all browsers.

Do you have any problems with using hierarchical DockLayoutPanels?

Thank You.
You are correct, the results wont be necessarily the same, only
"similar".

FlowPanel/SimplePanel end up as "div" elements.
the same is true with DockLayoutPanel, at the end they translate to
"div" elements.
so it is possible to apply CSS styles to achieve "Similar" results.


To put this in perspective, here is what i am trying to achieve:

MyViewUiBinder:


.left { float: left;}
.right {float: right;}


















This could have been a DockLayoutPanel, however I am using a top
level DockLayoutPanel already for my overall application layout,
and this View i am talking about here with all the left/right/top
panels, are actually in the  slot of application main
DockLayoutPanel.

i tried , but i think its either deprecated,  since it
result in "table/tr/td" elements, and is not considered a good
practice.

 i am not sure if this is the best way to do it ?


what i'm trying to achieve is to programmatically (through Presenters)
add
"views" in the g:center part of application DockLayoutPanel. and those
Views that are inserted have their own top/left/right panels.

Thank You

Hi,

I don't think you get the same results.
You get similar results. It depends what exactly you need.
Probably the easiest is two try both and watch the different behavior
in the "extremes"

GWT DockLayoutPanel vs CSS Float

2010-11-14 Thread zixzigma
Hello Everyone,

Is it acceptable that at times we make use of
CSS float:left, and float:right, to achieve the same result that
could otherwise be achieved with GWT DockLayoutPanel ?
