Hi Simon, You are right. But as I have mentioned i am binding the DIV component with a property in the backing bean instead of getting the UIViewRoot and then invoking findComponent.
It does give me the proper instance of the DIV component I tried to add a dummy DIV component outside the outer DIV component. In the rendered property of the dummy DIV component I called the method which will add children for DIV component with id="subnavigation" which is also retrieved using value binding. This will ensure that DIV components are constructed before the dummy DIV component's method is invoked. The method gets invoked, children get added but the left menu is not rendered. I guess I will have to create a custom component just to add something programmatically to the JSF tree.
