I am currently trying to replicate the functionality of the Sticky application (fourth example under "samples") in my GWT application, specifically NoteView (see the class NoteView in SurfaceView.java in my personal repo or download Google App Engine's SDK, where you'll find it in appengine-java-sdk-1.5.1/demos/sticky).
However, as hard as I try, I just cannot find the place where Google put in the gripper bars on the bottom right hand corner of every note, and where their code allowed the user to resize the note. grepping for "resize" and "resizable" in their sticky dir was not fruitful, and the CSS "resize" functionality was not used either. Also, GWT Textareas are not automatically resizable in the way that these notes in GWT are, and I don't know how to enable this or set it up.
I'm sorry but it really just is a textarea, and your browser does the rest (most browsers make textareas resizable nowadays).
Using Firebug or a similar developer tool, can you tell which differences are there between the Sticky sample and what your code does?
I figured it out -- it was old crud css left over from a gxt implementation. As soon as I removed the css file, the textarea automatically had gripper bars.

I also have this issue. I am using Ubuntu and just completed the Hello world tutorial. I wrote some more text and I am unable to scroll. I can see where the words keep going but nothing I have tried lets it scroll. I have not made any HTML/CSS edits. I have only added more text to the <p> tag.
There is some default CSS applied for chrome packaged apps. Putting the following in your CSS should re-enable scrolling:
html {
overflow-y:scroll;
}
Someone is putting together a cool guide which might have some more tips. See https://gist.github.com/maicki/7622137#scrolling
Chrome apps have a default stylesheet applied to them, to help the web "page" be more of an "app" by default.
For Chrome Apps on Mobile, we also include this (well, a nearly identical) default stylesheet.
So that is the reason for that behavior. Scrolling is absolutely useful in very many contexts, and is absolutely supported in any DOM element by adding overflow-y: auto;.
It was simply deemed to be the wrong default for packaged apps which live inside a dedicated window of set bounds and where we encourage not having full page content overflow (very much the opposite of the web). Most apps usually surround a main scrolling element with fixed navigational elements (but not always).
FYI, there is also another open issue for Chrome Apps on Mobile to replicate yet more of the Chrome for Desktop default styles.
Is there a way to place a transparent-background DIV (a curved image forming the beginning and ending of a menu) on top of Google Earth.
Thanks
I think you are looking for a IFRAME shim solution.
Here is a link to very similar question: How can I place a html div over the Google Earth plugin? Involves wmode, I imagine
I use iframe divs on my website to create a menu - you can see my site here:
http://www.3dwhistler.com/
or for a simple example check out
http://earth-api-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/demos/customcontrols/index.html
As for making it transparent, by using CSS, you can for Mac but not for Windows based browser. It looks really cool on the Mac, but instead of using different CSS per browser I am sticking to a 'common' look for now.
Suppose I have a html opened in a Browser. Now in that HTML file , I've a hyperlink and On clicking on that hyperlink, I want to open the Eclipse Help Window.
Same as Like
Eclipse>Welcome>What's New>Plug-in
Development Environment
I know the above is using an intro extension, but I am using a view to display the html. Now please show me a way to achieve the target.
The welcome screen and a lot of other places where hyperlinks appear in Eclipse UI aren't implemented using Browser widget, but rather using the FormText widget. The FormText widget supports limited markup, including hyperlink rendering. You control behavior of the hyperlink.
This article covers the use of FormText control:
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-Forms/article.html
It may be possible to achieve what you are after using an actual Browser control, but if your scenario doesn't call for tricky formats, it will definitely be easier using FormText.
When a <select> tag is used in a HTML page, is there a way to style the text size in
the scroll wheel that shows on the iPhone?
There is this alternative.
http://cubiq.org/spinning-wheel-on-webkit-for-iphone-ipod-touch
It uses javascript to put the elements on the page.. I used it for a web/ iphone app and it worked really well. There would be custom styling if you wanted to change the default text sizes and you could also load in custom images..
I don't believe you can style the wheel that shows up on the iPhone directly. In fact, even modifying it in browsers has weird support. For example, http://jsbin.com/obake3 doesn't work at all in Chrome, only modifies the actual drop down in Safari and stretches the graphic in a very ugly way in Firefox.
We investigated and couldn't find any reliable way of altering the display so we looked into different libraries. We're having good luck with the Mobiscroll library for jQuery. It is a more up to date project than the cubiq project referred to in other responses.
The control is themable. You can easily change the appearance of if in CSS. It also comes with pre-defined, nice looking color schemes.
We chose it because it works across devices allowing for a more consistent look & feel.
Taken from Sitepoint Ref
The select renders slightly differently depending on the browser and operating system in use, and is well known as a troublesome HTML element to style with CSS (because the display is inherited from the operating system, rather than provided by the browser)
Does anyone know of a GWT widget that works like a spelling suggestor?
Ideally it would be similar to this: http://www.polishmywriting.com/
I need a click-triggered popup on user generated text so that I can suggest replacements (I am not building a spell-checker, but something similar). I also really like the way the polishmywriting menu is set up (when you click on an underlined word).
Is there a widget that would allow me to make something similar?
Basically I'm trying to clone the little popups used by spellchecking in Gmail and polishmywriting.
If not, what would be my first step to make it?
Thanks for your time and answers,
DTrejo
Have you had any luck yet? I know it's been quite a lot of time, but found this just now.
It is a very specific widget, so maybe you won't be able to find exactly what you are looking for. In that case, making one from scratch might prove as a challenge.
The first thing you will notice is that a regular gwt TextArea won't do the job of holding the text. You will need something more flexible to dynamically put clickable labels in the text itself.
TinyMCE is a platform independent web based Javascript HTML WYSIWYG editor control, released as Open Source.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TinyMCE
There is also a gwt wrapper available, so you might find that useful:
http://code.google.com/p/tinymce-gwt/
If you check the polishmywriting editor after the spell checking markup is displayed, you will notice it is not a TextArea. The text is a series of paragraphs and the labeled parts are span elements. This are the elements you can easily access with gwt and put some click handlers there to open the popup.
And for the popups, it shouldn't be difficult. Use a standard gwt PopupPanel. The popup panel can be displayed in a relative position to other elements displayed on the page:
popup.showRelativeTo(otherElement);
If you did find something useful in the mean time, feel free to share.
