OutputText

Extension of the outputText element

In addition to the normal rendered attribute, there is also a show attribute that has the same semantics, but instead of entirely omitting the element in the markup, show=false will render an empty placeholder element.

This is especially neat for the cases where you would normally need to add an outer wrapper to AJAX update a conditionally rendered element.

The outputText will render as a span by default, but you can render it as any tag name by specifiying the tag attribute.

<t:outputText id="mytext" show="#{controller.show}" value="Hello world!"/>
<t:commandButton value="Show" action="#{controller.setShow(true)}" render="mytext"/>
