Thanks for brainstorming other solutions. I really like the "<pre>" tag
solution, but when I do this, JSF is stripping out the "<pre>" tag when the
HTML is rendered ...
<t:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<t:outputText value="Result"/>
</f:facet>
<!-- Vehicle Info -->
<pre><t:outputText id="vehicleInfo"
value="#{currentRow.result}"/></pre>
</t:column>
It is also stripping out the comment. Any idea how to re-write this so JSF
keeps the <pre> tag in there? - Dave
