I am using GWT with GWT-EXT running in glassfish. I create 2 combo boxes as follows:
import com.extjs.gxt.ui.client.widget.form.ComboBox;
import com.extjs.gxt.ui.client.widget.form.SimpleComboBox;
this.contentPanel = new ContentPanel();
this.contentPanel.setFrame(true);
this.contentPanel.setSize((int)(Window.getClientWidth()*0.95), 600);
this.contentPanel.setLayout(new FitLayout());
initWidget(this.contentPanel);
SimpleComboBox<String> combo = new SimpleComboBox<String>();
combo.setEmptyText("Select a topic...");
combo.add("String1");
combo.add("String2");
this.contentPanel.add(combo);
ComboBox combo1 = new ComboBox();
combo1.setEmptyText("Select a topic...");
ListStore topics = new ListStore();
topics.add("String3");
topics.add("String4");
combo.setStore(topics);
this.contentPanel.add(combo1);
When these are loaded in the browser (IE 8.0, Firefox 3.6.6 or Chrome 10.0) the combo boxes are shown but don’t have the pull down arrow. They look like a text field with the “Select a topic…” text. When you select the text it disappears and if you type a character and then delete it the options are shown (i.e. pull down is invoked) however, there is still no pull down arrow.
Does anyone know what the issue might be? Or how I can investigate further? Is it possible to see the actual HTML the browser is getting, when I View Page Source I only get the landing page HTML.
As an additional I also have a import com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.Grid that does not render correctly. It is in table format but has no grid lines or header bar etc.
Cheers,
James
This is the HTML DIV with the issue:
<div class=" x-form-field-wrap x-component" id="x-auto-5" style="width: 150px;">
<input type="text" class=" x-form-field x-form-text x-form-empty-field" id="x-auto-5-input" tabindex="0" autocomplete="off" style="width: 126px;">
<img class="x-form-trigger x-form-trigger-arrow" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAID/AMDAwAAAACH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==" id="x-auto-6">
</div>
I believe the image specified is the blank image. Why is it not using the arrow image surely it is a default GWT/browser image?
I was missing the following from my Landing html page. Well I had the reference but it was pointing to the wrong relative location.
