Re: Which use for CSS?
I have a question similar to this one? Has the GWT team ever considered adding a CSS compiler into GWT? Example create classes and such in Java that help with the layout. Offering as much flexibility as possible as CSS does, but then making the CSS browser independant as well as the JS. In this way the CSS can be compiled with the rest of the page, but we can be sure that (to the best of googles ability) our pages will look identical regardless of browser. has this been discussed/considered?

Re: Which use for CSS?
Using horizontal and vertical panels is the prefered way of realizing layouts in GWT. You shouldn't try to implement your layout from scrach. But this doesn't mean, that there is no need for CSS in GWT. GWT should also prevent you from many browser differences, but that doesn't mean, that it will do allways.
