Thanks Thomas, I could get the app to use only limited portion of the
body. But how do place the app in a div on my page.
My Page looks like this
<html>
<body>
<div>This Is the Header</div>
<div id="the_body">
<div id="sidebar_links">This is the sidebar</div>
<div id="content">GWT app should appear here</div>
</div>
<div>This Is the Footer</div>
</body>
</html>
Since RootLayoutPanel does not take id as an argument, how can make
GWT place the app in the div with id="content"?
