I'm relatively new to working with MyFaces so I don't know if this has been brought up before, but I'm looking for advice on the proper usage of h:PanelGrid and h:Column, along with their Tomahawk extensions t:PanelGrid and t:Column.
My question arose when I was attempting to use t:Column with t:PanelGrid to format the display of a web page I'm working on. What I was attempting to do, was utilize the additional attributes in the t:Column tag, such as style, to specify the formatting for the cells in the table. In particular I was looking to adjust the alignment of the elements in the cells. Since the JavaDoc for the Tomahawk TLD states that t:Column is "A tag that extend h:column to provide HTML passthrough attributes" I was under the belief that I could use a t:Column as one would use a h:Column in a PanelGrid. However, looking at the HTML code that was generated, I noticed that the output was simply rendering standard HTML td elements without applying the HTML passthroughs for the additional attributes which the documentation suggested. I know the documentation suggests that t:Column can be used in t:DataTables instead of h:Column, so does the same hold true in the use of PanelGrids? If not, what is the best practice for using t:PanelGrid (and for that matter, h:PanelGrid)? Should I just use t:HtmlTag to manually specify tr and td tags to be used in this case? Since I'm trying to use the style attribute, h:Column is not an option since there is no way to specify a style to be used in the tag. Thanks in advance, Ryan
