Hey Jason,
Thanks for your reply!
I'm afraid I'm still running into problems here. First, even just
trying to insert an element. I have this code:
SpanElement test_element = Document.get().createSpanElement();
test_element.setInnerText("Hello there");
currentNode.appendChild(test_element);
currentNode is of type Node. This compiles OK, but at run time I get
an exception on the appendChild call.
How can I add or append an element to a node like this?
Secondly..I can't seem to find any wrap method in the Widget class?
Any further insight would be greatly appreciated..thanks so much!
