First of all congrats for bringing togetther secrets of two web giants (Google and Yahoo) together by wrapping YUI in GWT.
I have been using your yui-ext for a while and its cool. Currently, I am facing a problem. Following js are included in my head tag : <script type="text/javascript" src="js/yui/utilities_2.1.0.js"></ script> <script type="text/javascript" src="js/yui-ext.0.33-rc3/yui-ext.js"></ script> <script type="text/javascript" src="js/yui/yahoo.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="js/yui/event.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="js/yui/dom.js"></script> <script src="js/simile/timeline-api.js" type="text/ javascript"></script>
I have checked out current code from svn and now GWT shell throws error when I am adding my layoutPanel to RootPanel that is at RootPanel.get().add(layoutPanel); where layoutPanel is my root panel which has various other panels and stuff. layoutPanel is of type BorderLayoutPanel (import com.netthreads.gwt.yuiext.client.BorderLayoutPanel;)
Shell throws this error: ERROR] Unable to load module entry point class org.fun.client.KoolApp com.google.gwt.core.client.JavaScriptException: JavaScript TypeError exception: ce.fireDirect has no properties at com.google.gwt.dev.shell.moz.ModuleSpaceMoz.invokeNative(ModuleSpaceMoz.jav a: 229) at com.google.gwt.dev.shell.moz.ModuleSpaceMoz.invokeNativeHandle(ModuleSpaceM oz.java: 121) at com.google.gwt.dev.shell.JavaScriptHost.invokeNativeHandle(JavaScriptHost.j ava: 93) at com.netthreads.gwt.yuiext.client.BorderLayoutImpl.create(BorderLayoutImpl.j ava: 29) at com.netthreads.gwt.yuiext.client.BorderLayout.create(BorderLayout.java: 37) at com.netthreads.gwt.yuiext.client.BorderLayoutPanel.create(BorderLayoutPanel .java: 138) at com.netthreads.gwt.yuiext.client.BorderLayoutPanel.onLoad(BorderLayoutPanel .java: 127) at com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.Widget.onAttach(Widget.java:91) at com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.Panel.onAttach(Panel.java:81) at com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.Widget.setParent(Widget.java:151)
Note that this error goes away when I comment out event.js from my host html page. But if I remove this js, panel contained in a Resizable widget remains no more resizable though they can be dragged.
I am also not very sure which js I need to include in my host html page to use Resizable widget.
Any pointers how should I proceed to debug this further.
I wish I could say right away what the problem is but alas I don't know. I haven't really tested the limits of the border layout control.
How to proceed. If you take basic borderlayout demo and stick your resizable element into the main panel. Does it display the same thing?
The resizable includes should just be those of the demo app though I admit there are uncleared issues around these features. I have been holding off getting around to them as I have been (slowly) creeping towards completion of other stuff (hence the lib is still at version 0.0.1).
I will look into this. Can you raise an issue on the gwt-yui-ext page on this.
Al.

Google should really do something about this google groups. I posted a message yesterday. It said successful and still I cant find it today . Arghhh...
Thanks Al, for the reply. I have made some progress and thought of sharing it with you.
After trying out various permutations, I found that "js/yui/ utilities_2.1.0.js" and "js/yui-ext.0.33/yui-ext.js" are the only js needs to be included. Resizable app example works fine with only these two includes. I then tried to run two examples together. Thus, tried to include Example5Tab from Resizable app into layout app. Since event.js (the script which was causing problem as I stated earlier) was not in includes app compiles fine. Also, image in layout can be dragged but its not resizable. It doesnt resize on mouse events. Plus, dragging also works only in firefox. In IE, neither dragging nor resizing works.
Thats it. I am stuck there.
Also, another query for you. :)) I am not able to set size of Similie Timeline widget. It seems to ignore all the size setting functions and becomes big in size and then ugly scrollbars appear. I tried to explicitly set size in constructor. That didnt work. I also tried to set Sizes through setPixelSize() function call on timeline widget. Even that is ignored. Any pointers??
Btw, I have entered the bug for layout widget in bug tracker.
Anyways, congrats for the wonderful work !!
Reiner,
You mean to say its working for browsers other then safari?

Clearly there are cross-browser issues with the gwt wrapper plus issues with combining widgets together. I had observed these already with the resizable widget but I admit I am clueless as to why (as yet anyway).
The plan (as far as I have one) is to get the edit grid working and then I will revisit this control again. If you continue with your efforts I will certainly adopt any improvements you can suggest, this would be a great help.
The timeline widget requires it's size to be controlled by it's parent. If you examine the TimelineTest demo you will observe that the parent app implements 'WindowResizeListener'. This is required to pass the browser size down to it's child elements (in this case the timeline). You will see that TimeLineTab implements a resize function sizes the timeline accordingly. I hope this helps.
Al.

Interesting to hear that the demos are broken in safari. This is a shame. I checked the yui-ext forum and there are some issues around the core javascript lib but nothing along the lines of what you describe :(
I completely agree that it would be better to have these sort of controls written in GWT and then it would be able to compile them 'in' as is. If someone wants to port the look and feel of yui-ext to GWT then I for one will use it but I aint coding it up, hehe.
The gwt-yui-ext is a wrapper only and as such suffers from the same drawback as any javascript library in that you have to include the core 'js' files. It is what it is and nothing more. Once it reaches 0.0.2 (whoo a whole 0.0.1 step up) there will be time to examine the safari issues.
Yes, I would like to see your morphing code too. Can you put a demo up?
Al.
