Hi Freek, your solution wouldn't work for me. Let me give you a short example of what i exactly mean: If you have a simple JSF page like follows: <f:view> <f:subview id="namingContainer"> <h:outputText id="componentToStyle" value="My styled Text"/> </f:subview> </f:view>
your HTML page (generated by a JSF framework) would look like: <html> <span id="namingContainer:componentToStyle">My styled Text</span> </html> So in my opinion it isn't possible to style the text, doesn't it?
