Click even on outer HTMLPanel on existing html ?

[Ed]

I load a piece of html from an external file and add wrap it in a HTMLPanel, and add a ClickHandler to the HTMLPanel to catch click events anywhere on the loaded html. However, that doesn't work, I not catch any click event :(

The click handler is added as  Dom handler.

However, if I add a TextBox, the click handler will receive clicks made on the added TextBox. So event do bubble up on new widgets that are added, but not on existing html.

I thought it might be because of bootstrap css that I use (container, row and col styles), but removing them had no effect.

The HTMLPanel has a background color and is wrapping all loaded html.

How to solve this?

stupid suggestion but do you sink the events you want to listen for?

Yes I do (as DomHandler: ClickEvent.getType()) that's why I don't understand I don't catch any.

I get the idea the events aren't bubbled up (passed through), because the loaded html in the HTMLPanel exists of existing html instead of creating it through gwt, such that events are passed through...

addDomHandler() automatically sinks the corresponding native event type. You only need to sink events yourself when you override onBrowserEvent() to handle native events without registering a handler using addDomHandler().

I know that HTMLPanel.addDomHandler(ClickHandler, ClickEvent.getType()) works as expected as our app uses it. However it does not use HTMLPanel.wrap().

Hmmm,, so it should work for existing html, that is loaded from an xml file (so no wrap is needed).
