Newbie question

When using Designer to layout the panels (flowpanels in this case) on a page how do I get them to scale with the size of the browser? Right now they are static and stay exactly where I drew them, no matter if the browser's window is small or large.

Thanks

Right-click on the panel and select Change size unit > % - percentage.

That helps to an extent, but I guess I did not ask the question correctly.
I want the panels to maintain their size but to scale their position in the window. The best example would be Gmail with the login panel on the right side of the screen. The panel is always in your browser's view and the text (to the left of the login panel)just get shifted so that everything fixs on the screeen.

You could fill the entire window with a DockPanel or FlexTable and then set up diffeent regions and widgets with different fixed (in pixels) or variable(in percentage) sizes.

To make a widget fill a cell of a table, sets its size to 100% x 100% using the property pane.
