Re: What's a good widget for a small table?
Well, its creating a table with a table for each row.. to end up with a table structure... If its a statically sized table, you can just write the table structure yourself in UiBinder, and place Widgets/Text in each td.

Re: What's a good widget for a small table?
Wouldn't that be a Grid control? Would a Grid control be a little heavy handed in that it seems to be designed to handle widgets in its cells. A property table - or something like that - seems ideal (if it existed).

Re: What's a good widget for a small table?
Well Grid uses a html table to work, yes. The point is when working with UiBinder you can use normal HTML markup to make a widget, so you can do: g:HTMLPanel table tr tdName/tdtdg:TextBox ui:field=nameText/td /tr tr tdPhone/tdtdg:TextBox ui:field=phoneText/td /tr /table /g:HTMLPanel Jeff: I guess it reduces DOM complexity, and improves performance (almost certainly negligible in most cases, unless your widget is large and needs to be created many times over) In any case, I'm not saying this approach is better or worse than using Panels, its just the approach I take. The obvious disadvantage is that its a static table, you can't really modify it at runtime easily. If you need a dynamic table, Panels/FlexTable/Grid are more suited.

Re: What's a good widget for a small table?
I would use CellTable even if it says it is ideal for large amount of data. The ideal sentence only says that CellTable has no performance issues with large amount of data because it supports paging (if you need it) and renders only visible cells. If you are not familiar with cell widgets it can take some time, but it is worth. On 8. Okt, 18:21 h., Aidan O'Kelly aida...@gmail.com wrote: Well Grid uses a html table to work, yes.
