The base widget for a custom widget is usually ComplexPanel. It has the methods and infrastructure for managing (adding and removing) child DOM elements. You still have to use DOM methods, but despite the name, it removes some of the complexities. Grep through the ui folder for examples of how ComplexPanel is used. - Jim Washington
