     <h2>Common Gotchas</h2>
 
     <p>Here are a few problems that I've frequently run into while using the dygraphs library.</p>
 
     <ul>
+      <li>If your chart doesn't display, be sure to check your browser's JavaScript error console. dygraphs makes every attempt to log errors and warnings, and these can often guide you in the right direction.</li>
       <li>Make sure your CSV files are readable! If your graph isn't showing up, the XMLHttpRequest for the CSV file may be failing. You can determine whether this is the case using tools like <a href="http://www.getfirebug.com/">Firebug</a>.</li>
       <li>Make sure your CSV files are in the correct format. They must be of the form <code>YYYYMMDD, series1, series2, </code>&hellip; . And if you set the <code>errorBars</code> property, make sure you alternate data series and standard deviations.</li>
       <li>dygraphs are not happy when placed inside a <code>&lt;center&gt;</code> tag. This applies to the CSS <code>text-align</code> property as well. If you want to center a Dygraph, put it inside a table with <code>align = center</code> set.</li>
@@ -700,6 +561,26 @@ perl -ne 'BEGIN{print "Month,Nominal,Real\n"} chomp; ($m,$cpi,$low,$close,$high)
       <li>Make sure you don't have any trailing commas in your call to the Dygraph constructor or in the options parameter. Firefox, Chrome and Safari ignore these but they can cause a graph to not display in Internet Explorer.</li>
     </ul>
 
+    <h2 id="gwt">GWT Compatibility</h2>
+    <p>There is currently no GWT wrapper around Dygraphs, however there is a class that can be used to easily load Dygraphs into the browser.  To use it, include the generated dygraph-gwt.jar file in your classpath and add the following line to your GWT module:</p>
+
+<pre>
+&lt;inherits name=&quot;org.danvk.dygraphs&quot;/&gt;    
+</pre>
+
+    <p>Call org.danvk.Dygraphs.install() when your application starts to install the JavaScript code into the browser.  You can use <a href="http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/doc/latest/DevGuideCodingBasicsJSNI.html">JSNI</a> to call Dygraphs from your GWT code, as in the example below.  The example uses the <a href="http://code.google.com/p/gwt-google-apis/wiki/VisualizationGettingStarted">Visualization API for GWT</a> and the <a href="#gviz">Dygraphs GViz API.</a></p>
+
+<pre>
+  public static native JavaScriptObject drawDygraph(Element element, DataTable dataTable, double minY, double maxY) /*-{
+    var chart = new $wnd.Dygraph.GVizChart(element);
+    chart.draw(dataTable,
+      {
+        valueRange: [minY, maxY]
+      });
+    return chart;
+  }-*/;
+</pre>
+
     <h2 id="policy">Data Policy</h2>
     <p>dygraphs is purely client-side JavaScript. It does not send your data to any servers &ndash; the data is processed entirely in the client's browser.</p>
