Rendering and Styles

• styleClass attribute allows you to change appearance of a page by updating a style sheet. Example:

       <h:outputText value="#{msgs.namePrompt}" styleClass="prompts"/>

  styleClass value is a CSS style such as:

  .prompts {
      color:red;
  }

  If this style is in the file styles.css, then put the following in the head element of your JSF page:

       <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>

• rendered attribute controls whether component is rendered at all, for example, when displaying a table with optional columns
