    public class RootPanel

extends AbsolutePanel

The panel to which all other widgets must ultimately be added. RootPanels are never created directly. Rather, they are accessed via `get()`.

Most applications will add widgets to the default root panel in their `EntryPoint.onModuleLoad()` methods.

Method Detail

### detachNow

    public static void detachNow(Widget widget)

  Marks a widget as detached and removes it from the detach list. If an element belonging to a widget originally passed to `detachOnWindowClose(Widget)` has been removed from the document, calling this method will cause it to be marked as detached immediately. Failure to do so will keep the widget from being garbage collected until the page is unloaded. This method may only be called per widget, and only for widgets that were originally passed to `detachOnWindowClose(Widget)`. Any widget in the detach list, whose element is no longer in the document when the page unloads, will cause an assertion error.

  Parameters:
    `widget` - the widget that no longer needs to be cleaned up when the page closes
  See Also:
    `detachOnWindowClose(Widget)`

### detachOnWindowClose

    public static void detachOnWindowClose(Widget widget)

  Adds a widget to the detach list. This is the list of widgets to be detached when the page unloads. This method must be called for all widgets that have no parent widgets. These are most commonly `RootPanels`, but can also be any widget used to wrap an existing element on the page. Failing to do this may cause these widgets to leak memory. This method is called automatically by widgets' wrap methods (e.g. `Button.wrap(com.google.gwt.dom.client.Element)`).

  Parameters:
    `widget` - the widget to be cleaned up when the page closes
  See Also:
    `detachNow(Widget)`

### get

    public static RootPanel get()

  Gets the default root panel. This panel wraps body of the browser's document. This root panel can contain any number of widgets, which will be laid out in their natural HTML ordering. Many applications, however, will add a single panel to the RootPanel to provide more structure.

  Returns:
    the default RootPanel

### get

    public static RootPanel get(java.lang.String id)

  Gets the root panel associated with a given browser element. For this to work, the HTML document into which the application is loaded must have specified an element with the given id.

  Parameters:
    `id` - the id of the element to be wrapped with a root panel
  Returns:
    the root panel, or `null` if no such element was found

### getBodyElement

    public static Element getBodyElement()

  Convenience method for getting the document's body element.

  Returns:
    the document's body element
