I have the following dataTable: h:dataTable binding=#{CreateInstance.dataTable1} id=dataTable1 value=#{CreateInstance.dataTable1Model} var=currentRow f:verbatim colgroup col width=200px/ col width=200px/ col width=200px/ col width=500px/ /colgroup /f:verbatim h:column . the colgroup element does not show up in the rendered html at all... as it if is ignored... i tried to remove the f:verbatim tags too, and it will still not work does anyone know why is that? I think this will work: try putting stuff inside h:column elements.. and how can i set he column widths? Also, adding style class elements like h:dataTable columnClasses=searchTable_Column .. will get you the style you want..(make sure you declare the style sheet up top). thanks Regards, Geeta

I think the style suggestion is the way to go, but...now this turned into a style question! I hope you can still help me with that! so how do i specify the width of individual column in the style ? thanks

Any solution or work around is appreciated. thanks I think he posted a good solution for your needs. As I understand you want to set the width for each column to a different size... right? I think the post before was correct: columnClasses=searchTable_Column,searchTable_Column_Centered, ,last_styleColumnPreviousHasNoStyle and now you set on each stylesheet class a different size: .searchTable_Column{ width: 10px; etc... } .searchTable_Column_Centered { width: 100px; etc... } .last_styleColumnPreviousHasNoStyle{ width: 20px; etc... } This stylesheet and attribute columnClasses will render a table with following behaviour: first column has the width: 10px second column has the width: 100px third coulmn has no stylesheet defined last column has the width 20px I'm using this approach in my templates for each dataColumn... This works fine in myfaces. The article to which you are referring repects the domino software needs and shows a workaround for domino what has nothing to do with myfaces because myfaces supports style sheet definitions for each column in a table... -- snip --- .tableformat3 td{ padding:15px; width:100px; } The problem is that this affects ALL cells, individual columns cannot be targeted. The solution is not inherently CSS based but HTML based, the way to solve this issue is by inserting the underused colgroup and col tags into the table markup. -- snip -- this is similar to the following myfaces column attribute definition: columnClasses=searchTable_Column now all columns are rendered by size 10px because each column uses this one style sheet defined. I hope this will help you understanding the myfaces columns style attribute. All comma seperated style definitions will be rendered for each individual coulumn and not for all columns. Thats the same like you would write: colgroup col width=column1_Width_xxx
Re: f:verbatim problem
Paul and Geeta... thank you s much After Paul's explanation of Geeta's solution, i was able to get it to work using the columnClasses Now i can control every column's width separately... Thank you so much for the patience it is all appreciated :)
