Thank you for your response! It seems there is a two fold problem - on the one hand I might be doing something incorrect with the panels as you've described and will try what you've suggested right now. Thanks for that. But something which worries me more is that the compiled javascript actually has a compilation error in IE... I thought the problem had gone away but alas it hasn't... I described the problem in detail on StackOverflow here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3033073/gwt-in-ie8-exception-thrown-and-not-caught.
This problem really worries me because the error comes from the compiled javascript generated by GWT - and the actual code itself doesn't look like mine, it seems to be GWT's own generated code. Everybody keeps saying that they need to know what the exception is, but I think what they are missing is that there is no exception - its a compilation error - the actual syntax is incorrect... So with all that said, I will try the RootLayoutPanel instead, and keep adding an empty catch block to satisfy IE... lets see if that works... Thanks again Kathrin, will post shortly with what I find!
