There is a post on this somewhere, I just don't have the link.
1) Make a form with all the inputs and a submit button (In your HTML).
The action can be javascript:void(0). Give the form an id.
2) Do FormPanel.wrap(Document.get().getElementById(formID)) to get the
form.
3) You can add a handler to the FormPanel for input validation.
4) Add a JSNI native that creates a javascript function to call (like
this
http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/doc/latest/DevGuideCodingBasicsJSNI.html#calling).
The Java method it calls should grab the inputs you want. It will be
triggered by the submit button.
5) Call the above method
6) Change the FormPanel action to be javascript:[method name from step
4]
This doesn't work on Chrome though, because chrome needs a new page to
load so it knows the values were correct. Or something like that.
You can set the form to display:none, then add it as a widget to a
popup panel and remove the display:none. This way it will be hidden
till you need it.
