DockLayoutPanel sample code

[N G]

Hi,

I tried the DockLayoutCode which is presented in
http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/doc/latest/DevGuideUiPanels.html:
DockLayoutPanel p = new DockLayoutPanel(Unit.EM);
p.addNorth(new HTML("header"), 2);
p.addSouth(new HTML("footer"), 2);
p.addWest(new HTML("navigation"), 10);
p.add(new HTML("some content"));

// I added this:
RootLayoutPanel.get().add(p);

All this code was obviously placed inside the onModuleLoad
substituting the sample Eclipse startup code when you create a new
GWT app. The output looked nothing like what was presented on that
page.

I also tried the SplitLayoutPanel code right below that one. Likewise,
the result was nothing that I expected. For one, there were no "grab"
area to drag. I inspected the generated page in Firebug and I can
certainly see the "grab" area there, but I don't see anything to drag.
Moving the mouse around that area doesn't change the mouse into a hand
and doesn't let me grab the separation, etc...

What am I doing wrong here?

On a similar note... I was surprise to see the Eclipse autogenerate
HTML page say that it is in quirks mode and changing to standards mode
could have layout consequences (etc.) when the "goals" of GWT 2.0
clearly state that they only aim to support standards mode.

Could someone guide me on this one?

Thanks,
NG.

The new layout system does not include default styles, and the example within the Dev Guide is using CSS that wasn't included. When we get a chance, we'll add it to examples (as a download, or within the doc itself). In the meantime, there is already an issue for this, and you can tracks its progress here: http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=4429

I starred the Issue. I'm very confused as to what the Panel is
supposed to be or what the CSS should be. When I add a
DockLayoutPanel, I just get a blank page. Every confusing.

If you are using the new layout panels, you should be using standards
mode and not quirks mode.
