Hi,

I am experiencing a problem using a DockLayoutPanel with IE6 where a
child widgets RequiresResize.onResize() is fired before the
LayoutImplIE6 has updated the widgets width and height with new
values.

I have a child widget that needs to know when it is resized so it can
resize a nested MapWidget.  I must do this because setting the maps
height to 100% does not work inside a DockLayoutPanel child in IE7
because the element is positioned absolutely using top, bottom, left,
right.  Using this same absolute positioning for the child map does
work in IE7 but obviously not in IE6.

My current solution is to implement RequiresResize and explicitly
resize the map to the dimensions of the container.  This works well in
all browsers except IE6 because the container element has not yet been
resized by LayoutImplIE6

It looks like this is due to the RootLayoutPanel registering its
window resize handler before the LayoutImplIE6 registers its handler.

I could work around this problem by either making the map a direct
child of the DockLayoutPanel which means that the browser specific
resize problems are handled by the Layout.

Alternatively, I could use another nested LayoutPanel or implement
browser specific resize logic myself.

But it seems that onResize() is designed for situations like this?

Thanks,

John
