Hi Brian, Thanks for the reply. (I solved the initial problem by biting the bullet, and switching to a table. But I'm still curious about this.) So, if I understand you correctly, I could have an HTMLPanel Cell that acts as a FlowPanel, and a Container Widget that added 'new HTML (span

Now I'm not sure if you're trying to prevent wrapping within a table cell or if you're still considering not using a table and preventing wrapping between form fields and their labels. However, the solution is pretty much the same either way. I think you have the right idea, but using a

Inserting block-level elements (div, p, etc.) cause exactly what you're seeing in terms of wrapping, so there isn't any bug there. So you're saying there's no way to have two elements (say a label and the thing it's labeling) always stay together within an operable FlowPanel, since all the ways

First, let's separate two concepts. You suggested using a custom widget to bundle two things together. While that may bundle them together from a source code point of view, that custom widget it ultimately rendered as HTML. Therefore, HTML ultimately defines the rules for how your content will be
