HTML within JSF components

[albartell]

I thought I saw this was fixed in the latest version of MyFaces but I must have been reading something else. . .

 

Is there a way to make raw HTML be displayed (or not displayed) based on an encompassing JSF tag's rendered value? Below is some sample code of what I am trying to do without using a ton of verbatim tags.

 

<x:div rendered="#{ClientCtlr.curClient.clientid!=null}">
 <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
  <tr>
   <td>Client:</td>
   <td>
    <h:outputText value="#{ClientCtlr.curClient.client}" />
   </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
   <td>Contact:</td>
   <td>
    <h:outputText value="#{ClientCtlr.curClient.contact}" />
   </td>
  </tr>

 

... many more rows of client information omitted ...

 

 </table>
</x:div>

 

I am led to believe I cannot do this without the verbatim tag because of the below post, but I wanted to make sure.

From the looks of it the JSF spec is more the problem than the lack of a MyFaces tag, would that be true?  This makes it incredibly hard to sell JSF as a viable solution to web designers!
