@jgw, Thanks for the rescue. I thought I was going crazy. Totally forgot about the effects of doctype.
Nice to have: when the eclipse project wizard (or the app creator tool) is updated to create a UiBinder-style Greeting template, it would be nice if the doctype in the template html page was switched to standards-mode. Less heart attacks for sleepy coders ;) sfm On Thu, Dec 10, 2009 at 9:18 AM, Joel Webber <[email protected]> wrote: > [duplicating my last message because it failed to post to groups/gwt last > time] > > > On Thu, Dec 10, 2009 at 9:11 AM, Joel Webber <[email protected]> wrote: > >> The problem here is that you're using RootLayoutPanel explicitly, which >> requires the use of a standards-mode doctype. >> >> * This widget will <em>only</em> work in standards mode, which requires >> that >> * the HTML page in which it is run have an explicit <!DOCTYPE> >> * declaration. >> >> The good news is that these days you can just throw a <!DOCTYPE html> >> declaration at the top of the page to get there -- no need to dig through >> the 37 different versions of [x]html doctypes.
