Hello Sandeep, thanks so far! > I guess the content style is causing the issue. I am not sure if you >really require the content style to be set for a read-only field. Yes, I think we do: We want to be able to use the same pages for input or read-only just by flipping a switch (readOnly would then of course be connected to a boolean property in the backing bean...). We want those pages to have the same input field width in both cases. Thus, the contentStyle...
In my opinion, the behaviour of the input-enabled field (concerning "too long" texts) would be ideal for the read-only version as well , i.e. showing as much of the text as the defined width allows and making the rest accessible via mouse/keyboard actions. By the way, the outputText doesn't seem to offer this, neither. As far as I am aware, it can only truncate long texts... (well, via tooltip / shortDescription you can at least offer the complete text). Best regards, Carsten sandeep gururaj wrote: > > Hello Carsten, > > I guess the content style is causing the issue.
