Re: DisclosurePanel, class-name "content"

Just to be clear, I don't need advices on workaround. I honestly believe this is just an omission. (The other option wold be 'blatant example of bad design', but we're not talking MSIE here.)

The reason behind prefixing class-names used in GWT is, IMO, very obvious - to prevent exactly this kind of collisions.

When virtually all the class-names used in GWT are "name-safe" to me it feels wrong to be forced to fix one nested class-name before releasing a GWT-component to the world. (Even the class-name for open DisclosurePanel is strongly prefixed: "gwt-DisclosurePanel-open".)

Adding something like "fix your class-names before you use this" to your release notes is IMO a big 'no go'. Some people might want to use your component on a website that runs on something they did not write.

Well, if you can't see it, I won't probably change your mind. So thanks for the discussion.

Cheers

Then the problem isn't with GWT; it is with the site you are
integrating with not having a convention.  I do agree that it would be
nice to be able to change this and if it bugs you that much you can,
it's just not as easy as it could be.  They have a private static
string with the style name within disclosure panel, but you can't
change it as easy because everything is private, instead you will have
to remove the name after it is added and add your own by overriding
the setContent method
