Re: inline Hyperlink as part of a sentence -- spacing is getting battered by IE 6
Very true; when I use InlineHyperlink it does render without a div: span class=gwt-InlineHTMLYou may /spana href=#item1 class=gwt-InlineHyperlinkItem 1/aspan class=gwt-InlineHTML now if you like./span That markup, when placed alone in a test page along with my stylesheets, does show the proper spacing even in IE6. So I'm at a loss to explain why the space between the link and the trailing span is collapsed when I render it inside my gwt widget. In any case, it's not a pressing matter as I've found a workaround (combine a non-breaking space to force spacing, plus a regular space to allow wrapping). Thanks for your help, I very much appreciate it. On Thu, Apr 16, 2009 at 8:57 PM, Thomas Broyer t.bro...@gmail.com wrote: On 16 avr, 18:58, Jeoff Wilks jeoffwi...@gmail.com wrote: Good idea.

Good idea. I just tried InlineHyperlink but it has the same problem.

Re: inline Hyperlink as part of a sentence -- spacing is getting battered by IE 6
The non-breaking space hack (nbsp;) does work With the DOM wrappers introduced in gwt 1.5 and the simplified event-handling system added in 1.6 --- maybe it's time to think differently about when a Widget is appropriate. Panel p = new PanelThatCanHandleBothWidgetsAndDOMNodes(); p.add(Document.get().createTextNode(here is a )); p.add(new InlineHyperlink(link,item1)); p.add(Document.get().createTextNode( for you.)); On Thu, Apr 16, 2009 at 12:58 PM, Jeoff Wilks jeoffwi...@gmail.com wrote: Good idea.
