Hi, I am developing a webapp that should "behave" like a traditional web page, meaning that when the content grows in height the browser should display a vertical scroll bar. Unfortunately I was foolish and jumped right in on the new, shiny layout panels. As I found out later these are not suitable for me, as they create a more "application-like" look and feel with scrollbars displayed in the individual gwt panels instead of the browser (try resizing e.g. google wave -> When the available area is too small scrollbars will appear inside all the panels, the browser will never display any scrollbars) and also they are working with lots of fixed sizes (in my case the content is dynamic). I tried to achieve the traditional behavior with my LayoutPanels but failed. I couldn't get the browser to display scrollbars, only inner- panel scrolling, and stuffing a layoutpanel inside a scrollpanel is not the desirable approach (stuffing layout panels inside non-layout panels usually ended badly for me..). So my conclusion is to revert to the "old school" panels. But I am afraid that support of these will be dropped soon. What do you think? Are there better alternatives? Anyone fought with a similar problem?
