bottomComponent in a ToolTip in a ProgressBar in a Grid

[mike b]

After searching for ToolTip, ProgressBar, Grid, bottomComponent, and some others, I'm posting this question.

So, I have a slightely customized ProgressBar where I'm displaying a list of error messages. If there are more than 5 messages, I'm supposed to display a link that will open a new window w/ all the messages.

I add a ToolTip to my ProgressBar. The link is in a Label, set as the "setBottomComponent()" of my ToolTip. I have an onClick event go to a Presenter which then figures out the URL and calls Window.open().

All of this is fairly easy and painless.

However, the problem is that it works just fine in FireFox, but the label will not render in IE7. :((

Ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Have you tried to create a fully working testcase with this custom code? without this its impossible to say.

turns out to be some weird CSS issue in IE7. I was trying to make the label font-style: italic; which IE7 did not like. Instead of ignoring it, it decided not to display it.
