    <p>I'm new to GWT, and I'm sure this is answered in SO somewhere but I've yet to find</p> <p>I downloaded the GWT 2.0 eclipse plugin, and was pleased to see it comes with a <a href="http://ehrannm.appspot.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">starter project</a>.</p> <p>However, I was surprised that when running it, there is an unpleasent flickering...</p> <ol> <li>The text loads without the CSS first</li> <li>It takes a while untill the select box apears</li> </ol> <p>(If you don't see the flicker, try and press <kbd>F5</kbd> to refresh)</p> <p>All mature GWT apps seem to have a loader before that but I didn't find an easy, standard way to add it. </p> <p>It seems this app loads in this order: (correct me please if I mixed it up, its only my guess)</p> <ul> <li>Basic layout HTML, </li> <li>All JavaScript, and CSS</li> <li>Runs the logic on the "onload" event (soonest time your compiled javaScript can start - ?)</li> </ul> <p>So I can't programmatically add a loading spinner before GWT was loaded, a bit of a catch 22 for me </p> <p>Am I missing something basic? is there a best practice way to add that initial spinner?</p> <p>I was thinking simply adding a div with an animated gif, and in the onload event - hide it. </p> <p>But I'm sure there is something better.</p> <p>Let me know if this is a duplicate question</p> <hr> <p>Update: found this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1309436/automatic-loading-indicator-when-calling-an-async-function/1311604#1311604">related question</a>, not answering mine though...</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
