My suggestion should have gotten you thinking along the right lines...
To get rid of that warning message and still have the components line
up, you need only add two lines, and modify one.
The relevant changes are the following:
line 14: columns="1"
line 18: <h:panelGrid columns="7">
line 106: </h:panelGrid>
I've tested this on JBoss for you, and it works. You're welcome.

Actually no.
I want each label component rendered in their own <td> element, the same
goes for each input component.
Your suggestion renders (the labels for example) as noted below. All
seven labels in one <td> element.
Thus, none of the labels and input components line up in the first two
rows.
I just want the single panelGroup on the third line by itself, like:
x x x x x x x
x x x x x x x
x
Thanks,

ummm... this almost seems *too* easy, but why not just make the first
two lines into panelGroups, just like you did the third line?
<h:panelGroup>
...labels...
</h:panelGroup>
<h:panelGroup>
...
</h:panelGroup>
<h:panelGroup>
<h:commandButton value="Search"
actionListener="#{tbrowser.transTypeSelected}"/>
<h:messages id="transTypeError"
styleClass="error"/>
<f:verbatim><br></f:verbatim>
<h:outputText
binding="#{tbrowser.selItemsOutput}"/>
</h:panelGroup>
And then you can make the columns="1" ...

Whoa???
Since I have an odd number (15), I'd like my components displayed as:
x x x x x x x
x x x x x x x
x
(each x represents a JSF component)
The odd one by itself is a h:panelGroup that contains a commandButton,
messages, verbatim and an outputText component.
What would I specify for the columns attribute?
<h:panelGrid
id="tabSearch"
rowClasses="tbcell"
headerClass="instructions"
footerClass="cd"
columns="?"
width="1000"
bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
I'd to keep the seven (7) labels together, the seven (7) input and
select components together and have the h:panelGroup on it's own line.
Thanks,
--Todd

The warning message I am receiving is:
"PanelGrid tbForm:tabSearch has not enough children. Child count
should be a multiple of the columns attribute."
Below is the code snippet. I have fourteen (14) total components and
I'd like seven (7) on each row, thus I defined the columns attribute
value as seven (7).
Why would this cause an warning?
