Re: How do I set the border around elements in a DockLayoutPanel?

I humbly disagree. You haven't added a feature to your product until
people can actually USE it. On something like this, that means adding
example code and samples showing how it should be used.

One hopes that the people building the features have such code, as
test cases if nothing else. I certainly can't find it, either on the
web site, or in the checked-in project available via SVN.

Seriously: If you were writing DockLayoutPanel, wouldn't one of your
test cases be "Make sure DockLayoutPanel can do everything that
DockPanel does in Showcase"?

Having done that, wouldn't you want your test code added to Showcase,
so potential users could see how to use your shiny new widget?

I'm writing a brand new GWT 2.0 app. And I'm writing it in Quirks
mode, using the non-LayoutPanel panels, because they WORK, and I don't
have the time to waste to try to figure out how to get the
*LayoutPanels to behave. I'm guessing I'm not the only person in that
situation.
