GWT Gadget using RootPanel.get("divId").add(widget);

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Found in Release: Current, 1.03...

Detailed description:
 using RootPanel.get("divId").add(widget); to bind the widget to the page for gadget.

I think documentation asserting to the use of adding a widget to a div tag 
should be noted, and 
not used. Or a gadget HTML could be included in the war and parsed and included 
during 
compile. Could add native html and javascript to be included the gadget compile.

Workaround if you have one:
Take the "divId" out of RootPanel.get().add(widget); instead of 
RootPanel.get("id").add(widget);

Great job on the Gadget GWT Api Development :)

I'm sorry, I'm having trouble understanding what this report is about.  Are you 
reporting that there is a problem with the current examples distributed with 
the gwt-
google-apis source?  Or are you saying there is a different way to make an 
example 
that should be documented?

The RootPanel class has been used to insert a widget into a div for quite a 
while.  I 
think multiple GWT samples work like that.

I merely suggesting more documenting not using 
RootPanel.get("elementId").add(widget) in entrypoint of the 
GWT app. I used it, and it caused a failure that wasn't thrown durning my 
gadget deployment.

I mean GWT Gadget App, in the previous comment. Referencing an ElementId, which 
wouldnt exist in this type of 
deployment currently.
