Hi Mike,
I'm trying to understand your issue...
I'm assuming that DockLayoutPanel is in an Activity and that you're
adding it to the SimplePanel using panel.setWidget() in the start
method...? (I don't want to teach you to suck eggs - but you can use
Firebug (or similar) to check the DOM of your page and make sure the
DockLayoutPanel is actually being added).
If so, it sounds like you just need to force the DockLayoutPanel to be
100% the height of it's container:
dlp.setHeight("100%");
If not I can give you a basic structure that at least works for me...
Cheers,
Dave
