It may be interesting to see if the problem disappears in Standards mode. Also, there's the X-UA-Compatibility header for IE.

Yeah, 30 seconds after I posted this it occurred to me that I COULD test this under development mode, not just as a deployed app. :-( What's worse, is that I found the problem, and it's one I'd previously discovered on Dec 8: IE 7 throws an exception when you try to add something to a HorizontalPanel whose horizontal alignment is set to ALIGN_JUSTIFY. Ah, well, at least this time I submitted a bug report.

> One more thing - why are you using quirks mode? Because I'm utterly uninterested in trying to figure out what the dimensions of my panels should be, so I don't ever use any of the *LayoutPanels. Every web app I've ever written has had its size dependent upon the user's input. I can write a lot of code to try to figure out how big things should be, and then resize everything appropriately, or I can use Quirks mode and have the Panels do that for me, while I focus on the issues that are specific to my app. Which do you think is a better use of my time? I've never seen an explanation of why the *LayoutPanels are the way they are (just the bald statement "can't give you Swing like sizing in Standards mode"), but even if it's a really good reason, it wouldn't really matter. Because as long as I can simply focus my efforts on the problems important to me, that's what I'm going to do.
