Hi, The HTMLPanel accepts HTML snippets, you should not put and entire HTML page in it since it is part of the window document. So what you are doing is correct. Otherwise you will have to play with Frames (which you should avoid due to memory leak issues).
For the second question: the HTMLPanel has some methods that allow you to wrap a widget on existing DOM elements. So in your case, you could wrap the submit button. You just need to find the correct element in the generated DOM tree (using an ID would be the easiest). To find the element by id you can use: http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/javadoc/latest/com/google/gwt/user/client/ui/HTMLPanel.html#getElementById(java.lang.String) To "wrap" the element you use the wrap method on SubmitButton: http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/javadoc/latest/com/google/gwt/user/client/ui/SubmitButton.html#wrap(com.google.gwt.dom.client.Element) One final note: You should use a deferred call before trying to find the submit button element because the setInnerHTML does not take effect immediately.
