Width is trivial - make sure that everything is set to width:auto;
Height is (AFAIK) impossible without calculating it unless all the borders
and padding and margins are zero, in which case set everything to 100%
(including html, body{width:100%;}I didn't understand what Parvez Shah was saying, and AFAICT absolute positioning is no help if you have margins/borders/padding. It's a css thing rather than GWT. But if someone has a pure css solution, I will unreservedly join the ranks of the eternally grateful.
