One thing missing from the DOM class in GWT is the ability to set element opacity in a browser independent way. You do have DOM.setStyleAttribute, but in IE you set the opacity by squeezing a alpha(opacity=val) into the filter, where in most other browsers you set the opacity style attribute directly.
