building the graphics for my web site

[Jaimon]

hi,
i am pretty new to web development and i have chosen to work with GWT
which i really like. after finishing the business logic phase, i am at
the point where i need to add the graphics to my web site; icons,
images, background.

i have few questions:
1) how i can make my web site to fit any resolution?
2) i could not find any tutorial that explains how to work with images
in GWT, so any advice on how to start working and building the
graphics would a be really appreciated.
3) on the few things that i found about graphics on the website they
were always talking about putting every think in tables, is that the
case also in GWT or i should use panels instead?

please advise
Jaimon

Hi Jaimon ...

> 1) how i can make my web site to fit any resolution?

This isn't a GWT question. You'll want to look at other pages that do
this to your liking and investigate how they accomplish it. It
typically means setting the width of your elements (panels, etc) to
100% in CSS and adjusting things from there..

You'll probably want to start with the Image class javadoc. This
represents an image in html <img>. From there you'll also want to
check out ImageBundle as it is a powerful way to bundle images in your
site.

Most all panels in GWT are rendered using tables in HTML, so it is one
and the same.

Good luck!
