Well, setting the display to block works for having the span take up the
whole cell if I specify width and height, but it still has the same
problem that you can't vertically align block level elements. It puts
me right back where I was when I was wrapping the cell contents in a div.
Thanks for the suggestion tho,
Rich
PS Any status on that new column component?

uhmm... you are right ;)
I obviously did that due to some other reason, basically cause I had
to call a method and provide the username as a parameter, and this is
not possible with the JSF EL.
as for the style: use display:block;
in your style description.

Martin

I'm curious tho what this actually outputs. It seems your just
setting
the styleClass on the <h:outputText> element which you can do with
<h:outputText styleClass="#{datatablevar.attr}" />. The problem I
have
with that is that it uses a <span> to set the style class and you
can't
tell a span to take up 100% of the cell. You can tell it to up
all the
width, but not the height.
