Hi I play with GWT in the weekends, and I really like what i've seen so far. I have 2 questions:
1. I don't really understand the execution model of my app. I think that's because I don't know javascript. I'm assuming that there is only one logical thread from the browser running the javascript and it is the same thread that updates the display (disregarding asynchronous requests). So when through js I add 50 elements to a frame, the 50 elements are displayed after all of them are added to the frame. In other words, after the js has finished executing. Do I have it right? Are there articles out there on this topic? 2. Sorry this is not a great example, but it may get my question across. What do I do in the following situation (design): a) update the text in a label to "starting..." b) do a bunch of js and dom manipulation c) update the text in the label to "finished!" Currently, all I see is the after-effect: my dom manipulation and "finished". The label never displays "starting..." How can I force the label to refresh between step a & b. I've seen some posts describing that one could use the Timer and somehow force the element to refresh. But I can't figure out how this is achieved. Looking forward to your suggestions.
