jquery load() equivalent in GWT

I wonder if there is an equivalent load() of jQuery in GWT without using frames or any GWT framework.

I need to load a file .html in a div with GWT.

Something like this: RootPanel.get("content").add(page.html);

Any idea?

Add this: <inherits name="com.google.gwt.http.HTTP" /> to your gwt.xml file

Then you can do something with the HTML widget and the RequestBuilder

For example

import com.google.gwt.http.client.*;
...
HTML htmlWidget = null;
String url = "http://www.myserver.com/getData?type=3";
RequestBuilder builder = new RequestBuilder(RequestBuilder.GET, URL.encode(url));

try {
  Request request = builder.sendRequest(null, new RequestCallback() {
    public void onError(Request request, Throwable exception) {

    }

    public void onResponseReceived(Request request, Response response) {
      if (200 == response.getStatusCode()) {
         htmlWidget = new HTML(response.getText());
      } else {
        // Handle the error.  Can get the status text from response.getStatusText()
      }
  }       
 });
} catch (RequestException e) {
  // Couldn't connect to server        
}
if(htmlWidget!=null){
    RootPanel.get("content").add(htmlWidget);
}

I could not see if it compiles (no access to an IDE at the moment) so excuse any minor errors you might need to correct.

There are several approaches documented here best way to externalize HTML in GWT apps?

I would prefer client bundle with a html resource in your scenario.
