Bingo, thank you. I originally started out trying to use the LayoutPanel panels. Since the documentation and support for them ranges from execrable to non- existent (for example, the "Showcase" is all non-LayoutPanels), I switched over to straight Panels and Quirks mode.
However, I was still calling RootLayoutPanel.get (). In Firefox, this worked. In IE, it did not. Changing that to RootPanel.get () made it work. Thank you very much!
