You can make your own widgets with custom html without wrappers, just
be careful because event listening often relies on the proper html
elements being present to operate properly {spans can be wonky when it
comes to KeyListeners}
The following code is for a simple widget that you can send arbitrary
html or plain text and have it converted into a widget... It's got a
little extra code in it, but that's code cloneNode is way faster than
document.createElement()...
public class xSimpleWidget extends Widget{
protected xSimpleWidget(){this("<div/>";}
public xSimpleWidget(String xHtml){
setElement(xMakeHtml((xHtml.startsWith("<")?xHtml:"<div
style='display:inherit;'> "+xHtml+" </div>").replaceAll("\r|\n", "<br/
>")));
}
public xSimpleWidget(Element x){
setElement(x);
}
private static Element
xBLANK_DIV= Document.get().createDivElement()
,xBLANK_X= xDiv()
;
public static Element xDiv(){
return xBLANK_DIV.cloneNode(false).cast();
}
public static Element xMakeHtml(String x){
xBLANK_X.setInnerHTML(x);
if(xUserAgent.xStandards())//Non IE browsers don't have to
forget
their reference to the new child
return xBLANK_X.getFirstChildElement();
Element xRet = xBLANK_X.getFirstChildElement();//Get the element
created inside our div
xBLANK_X=xDiv();//Reset the div so IE won't lose it's reference
the
next time the xBLANK_X is overwritten
return xRet;
}
}
Basically, a Widget, Panel or Composite needs setElement(e), setElement
(e) and initWidget(w) {respectively} before you call getElement() or
add(), and all gwt widgets already call these functions {can only be
set once}. If you want widgets with element's of any dynamic type
with including the proper GWT-wrapped widgets {they've got a widget
for pretty much every element already}...
If you can't find the GWT widgets, go to the DOM.createFormElement(),
or whatever element you're interested in, right-click and select "open
call hierarchy" to find out where GWT uses those calls... Should lead
to better Widgets than my xSimpleWidget...
CHEERS!
