Window formatting - Firefox vs. IE

2009-12-23 Thread David C. Hicks
I've got a couple of problems with some dialogs that are based on the Window class. I hope someone can point me to a quick solution. It just seems like I must be missing something. My dialog based on the Window class has a number of panels in it. Each panel may have several widgets. Those are

I have a set of forms that look great in Firefox, but in IE (6, 7, and 8) I'm seeing several "formatting" type problems. Fonts seem to run together from top to bottom, and my modal dialogs take more space - to the point that my Save/Cancel buttons are pushed off the bottom of the dialog. My best

What's the best way to layout labels in a panel?

OK, that's a pretty general question.  So, here are the specifics of my problem. I have a label and a piece of text to go with it.  I'd really like for it to look like this... Name: The Name Value (note that the value is bolded) I've tried a number of combinations of Label widgets in Horizon

Help! Displaying helpful data on a form.

I'm sure I must be making this harder than it needs to be, but I'm having zero success doing it. Entering a new form, I'd like to display the name of an entity that was selected on the the calling page. The calling page is a Struts2 JSP, so I don't have the entire entity. I only have the entity'

General question about project architecture.

2009-11-12 Thread David C. Hicks
Specifically, I'm curious about the use of GWT Modules in a project. Each time we have a new "screen" to create, we have been adding a new module to our project. Of course, with each new module, there is an additional build cycle to generate the Javascript for that module. What I'm wondering is

How to include Incubator using Maven build?

Can anyone point me to an example or document that describes how to include the Incubator project code into a GWT build using Maven? We'd love to try out some of the spinner widgets, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to get the source code available to the GWT compiler. Thanks, Dave --~-

Yes, there are a number of pretty good books on GWT. The first I am aware of was "GWT In Action". It's slightly dated, but still a very good reference and tutorial. Do a search on Amazon. You can't miss them. Tim wrote: > Has anybody written any actual printed books on the GWT? > > > >

Can someone point me to an example that might shed some light on the proper use of BeanModel and/or ModelData? It almost seems like these two types are used interchangeably, but some API's prefer one or the other. I just haven't been able to find any good examples (ie. complete) that give me
