Daniel, First off, are you trying to define a widget to solve a real problem, or just as a learning exercise? If a real problem, you should know that generally it's best to just combine some available widgets in a container widget to achieve what you are looking for. This is called composition - it's simpler, far less code you have to write, easier to change, and not much less efficient in the DOM.
Having said that, if you are trying to learn how to make a widget, you should post some example code of what you think is your best attempt so folks have something concrete to comment on. And yes, generally derive from Widget, unless there is an existing widget that is almost what you want. As for your question about adding DOM elements, you want to use something like DOM.appendChild() Rich On Mon, Jun 18, 2012 at 5:44 PM, Daniel Gonzalez <gonva...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I am trying to define my first simple widget, but I am not suceeding.What > I am trying to define is a widget for a Label/Value pair.
