Thanks Sebastian, using qx.ui.basic.Label works better (and is basically what i want), but not entirly correct.
I made a small testcase here: http://qooxdoo.denkmair.de/label/source/ The label widget seems to be what I looked for, but it's height doesn't seem to be computed correctly. The full content is displayed (see label1 in the testcase), but a VerticalBoxLayout manager puts the next label (label2) somewhere on top of the first one instead of below the first one.. I tried to look at the source, looks as if the label's html content and all kinds of styles are cloned to an invisible div and this div's dimensions are used for the layout manager? Just a guess: Maybe some settings are not considered in the cloning proces? Could I use a workaround that would just use the real div's dimensions? thank you, Hubert --- Sebastian Werner schrieb: > Auto-sizing is not supported by HtmlEmbed.
