Hi Tim Thanks for taking the time to get back to me. The two suggestions that you gave both work. The problem that I have is that I also need to style child components of the AnswerButtonPanel that are dynamically created. If I use the styleName approach I would have to hard code a styleName and then always use that.
What I was hoping, and looking at the examples it should work, was that I could set a style for all AnswerButton components (the children that are created) using the syntax that I gave in my original post. I just can't work out why it doesn't work when every other method of setting the style info works fine. Thanks again...
