I'm sure this is easy to do but I'm more of a business logic
programmer and I get all tied up when trying to build a UI.

I'm trying to build a standard fixed layout with a header and footer
and a content section that expands or contracts with the content.
Pretty much like a lot of websites out there (yahoo, for one).

The closest I've gotten is using a DockLayoutPanel and adding a north
section for the header, a south section for the footer and of course a
center section for the content.  I then tried adding left and right
margins using CSS.  Two problems occurred with this solution 1) the
margins stayed even as you shrunk the browser and 2) I put an
arbitrary amount of text in the main content section and if it was too
long for the section, it would cut off at the bottom where the footer
started.

I was wondering if someone can provide a nice and concise solution (or
point me in the right direction) for this seemingly obvious layout
using GWT.  I've been using UIBinder but would be happy to see any
example.

Your UI-challenged colleague,
