This is the typeahead demo for GWT.
No such "widget" existed for this in the GWT, so one had to be created.
While it was not entirely difficult to create a new widget,
this will be a proprietary GWT Widget that cannot be used in any other javascript toolkit

Also, You are just putting tags with specific IDs in them in the html, so
a person who can read html will have no idea what is going on here.

For this example.. a simple page with 3 widgets on it, 15 files were generated.

While it is only 192kb, you have to use a java editor to tweak this.

I personally do not like this approach at all

TypeAheadDemo

This is an example of a host page for the TypeAheadDemo application. You can attach a Web Toolkit module to any HTML page you like, making it easy to add bits of AJAX functionality to existing pages without starting from scratch.
