Mike, Thanks. You suggestions make a lot of sense. I can see how to subclass a datalist. As with adding a layout type - I have not finished scaling the learning curve yet. I don't know when I will be able to get around learning component creation with the project deadline pressing on me right now. I like to participate eventually, as I really enjoyed the open source community.
Anyway subclassing datalist will have to do for me for now. Maybe somebody can pickup the idea and implement it in Myfaces soon?

However, as with most open source projects, new features are most likely to be implemented by the person who needs the functionality rather than by those who don't. Maybe you could provide a patch implementing this behavior? On 11/2/05, Yee CN <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I like to propose a new component for Myfaces - t:repeater.
