Tables should only be needed (even historically) to manage rounded corners or some other "9-box" way to build corners and edges - if you just want a flat popup with square, solid colored border, there shouldn't be a need for tables. If you only need modern browser support, you shouldn't need tables at all.
What specifically concerns you with using HTML tables? Sure, it generates a little more content and isn't very pretty if you are reading the source, but if it does the job...
What are your requirements for a dialog box?
As the javadoc indicates, DialogBox extends DecoratedPopupPanel, which is responsible for adding the 9box (for styling purposes, as mentioned above). The superclass of DecoratedPopupPanel is PopupPanel - if you only need the API that PopupPanel offers, you might do okay with just that. Beyond that, we would need a lot more clarity.
(And for future reference, gwt-contrib is good for discussion about GWT contributions, but StackOverflow, gitter.im/gwtproject/gwt or ##gwt on freenode, or this GWT Users mailing list are all better places to ask questions.)

Hi all...We're currently using a third-party component that, for some reason, doesn't play well when embedded in HTML tables.One of the uses we have for this component is within a DialogBox. Unfortunately, it appears DialogBox does its layout using HTML tables.Does anyone know of an alternative component that acts similar to a DialogBox, but which doesn't uses HTML tables for layout?- Tim
