GWT

I have been doing a lot of AJAX based programming lately..thanks to Google Web Toolkit I don't need to worry about underlying AJAX calls; it works seamlessly..however, I had some issues with layouts and laying out widgets..GWT (2.0) works well when you set explicit height and width for widgets but acts weirdly when you want to set a variable (percentage value) especially in the standard mode. After a lot of trail-and-error, I changed most of my outer layout panels to FlowPanels to get the scalable width working.
