Well, almost: http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=2907 ;-) > Of particular concern to me is the case where you're just using it as a > simple tooltip-esque popup and *don't* want anything (i.e. glass) covering > the whole page. Sure, but when you use the optional glass, the iframe should cover the same surface (whole window), not only the popup. > The closure dialog implementation assumes that you *do* want > such a thing, so the problem's a bit easier there. Agreed; and I'd note that Closure doesn't use a shim for popups (in neither PopupBase or Popup), only for DialogBox. > I'm very, very open to ideas on this. I think enabling the shim only in IE6 is ok for now, given GWT's "goal" with this shim. I'll try porting Closure's DialogBox to GWT because it's exactly what I need (except that I also need the dialog to contain widgets, but that's just a detail ;-) ). As for what GWT should do in the end, well, I have no idea for now, sorry... -- Thomas Broyer /tɔ.ma.bʁwa.je/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit-Contributors -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
