CellTable with only div's?

[Ed]

I want to make a CellTable but without the HTML table, so basically a
table that consists of only div's.

Any advice on how to do this?
(maybe extending the CellList class ?)

You could extend CellTable and override the protected renderRowValues() method to render the Cells using divs.  You can also override CellList, but CellTable already has the API to add Columns, if you want to use them.  Alternatively, you could override AbstractHasData and just use CellList/CellTable as examples.

Thanks,

Thanks, I also think this is the best option, it's just a bit more
work then I thought ;(
I a way am I bit suprised that the GWT dev team doesn't have the div-
less CellTable

Hi Ed,

Did you manage to extend celltable to work only with divs? can you share the result? I tried it with no luck. 

Thankyou!

[Ed Bras]

Ok, that's a long time ago.

I remember that I solved that by creating the HTML string and then passing it in to a HTMLPanel instance.

In the HTMLPanel you can just add the widgets through assigned id's. That worked pretty good and easy.

I didn't extend the celltable functionality as it became too slippery.

Well, I have just realized that CellList is implemented only with divs. 

So I can create Cells with tables inside (VerticalPanel and so.).

Anyway, thankyou!

[Ed Bras]

Yes, but if you use Vertical/HorizontalPanel you have html <table> tags and the idea was to not use that, that is; only use <div> tags to create a tag.

[Ramon Salla]

That is true. We are avoiding Vertical/HorizontalPanel. 

In fact, our idea behind using CellList is for the ability of use float:left (overriding CellList.Style) in even and odd cell styles. 

We couldn't to this with elements in CellTable because they are TDs (float:left and td are not very good friends)

By the way, CellList with cells in float:left is an excellent way to create an Image Gallery for hundreds of images.
