My velocity template is in charge of dynamically creating my page. Basically I have a Velocity macro to create two DateBox widgets so that a date range may be input by a user. My macro is called whenever I am generating a page that requires a date range input.
For the list of span ids, that would require all my widgets to be added in the same span, so be in the same place in the page. My page needs my widgets to be able to be embedded wherever I choose. The only way I could think of accomplishing this was creating a GWT JSNI method that takes a div id string as a parameter so it knows where to attach my widget.
