Yeah, everything done on iGoogle can be done in GWT. You are right, you can use GWT's mouse listener class to implement Drag and Drop. There are a bunch of libraries out there that can't give you a huge jump forward in that area like :http://code.google.com/ p/gwt-dnd/
As for the widgets themselves, check out Composites. You can combine any amount of GWT Widgets in one neat object. As for the CSS, you could probably keep them all in the same file and just keep the .css file ordered. This way you're not downloading tons of .css files, lots of overhead for no gain. Though you CAN have multiple .css files, just declare them all in your GWT's project .xml On Mar 13, 2:58 am, Chitra <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I am a newbie to GWT.
