Re: onModuleLoad() Before Page Load

Hi Ryan,

This doesn't answer your question, but I was wondering why you had the
velocity template initiate attaching your widgets to your spans?

Another possibility is to have velocity write a list of span ids to a
hidden span, and then have your GWT component (in a startup module)
read that span and attach widgets to each span in turn. That's the
way I do things.

Thanks,
Dan
