OK. Thanks for the reply. I have some familiarity w/ Dojo. I think you'll have to decide whether you want: o the advanced data handling and widget capability of Dojo, or o the capability of using a Java development environment, debugging, code optimization, server side support (and other stuff I'm leaving out) of GWT. If you want to stay w/ GWT, I think you'll want some kind of custom widget framework. No doubt there will be other assistive technology issues that you'll have to solve by rolling your own widget. My prejudice is against tables. I've never found them particularly useful, and often they inhibit useful, user-driven solutions. For what it's worth (free), my advice is to build your UI out of basic DIV blocks, formatted via CSS, esp. as the data source is "... whatever the user finds when he logs into a particular server." You can trap click events on a particular cell (expressed as a div) and dispatch appropriately. If you want a row select, implement a column containing a CheckBox that selects the row. You might also want a "open the associated document" checkbox at the head of each row. > > On Jul 20, 2:37 pm, Jeff Chimene <[email protected]> wrote: >> On 07/20/2010 10:51 AM, Thad wrote: >> >>> Calling HTMLTable.setText or .setWidget always creates a <td> >>> element.
