Excellent advice.. I went through the pain of VerticalPanel / HorizontalPanel (and some of the Grid, and found that .addStyle was not working the way it should -- because the components were being rendered inside of TD tags instead of DIV's. A tremendous waste of time -- although table CSS is somewhat easier for certain things such as vertical alignment.
