[ajug-members] GWT and existing HTML

[Marty]

Hi Fellow AJUG Members,

I'm trying to use GWT to add some dynamic functionality to an existing
application.  I've looked at a number of tutorials and at the API documents
but I have not been able to find out how to get a handle to a HTML element
that is already present on the page.  For example, I have a text box in an
existing form and I want to add a type-ahead style lookup to it.  I've seen
examples of how this can be done with GWT by adding a new text box but
nothing about how to add listeners to existing elements.

Has anyone out there seen a good way to do this or is the paradigm with
GWT that you have to re-write your entire page with GWT to get the dynamic
functionality?

Thanks in advance for the help!
