using rich:separator

[sovereign]

Hi I am trying to use a rich:separator inside an html table and I am having a couple of problems using it. The problems are :

1. If i use

<table>
<tr>
<td><h:outputText value="Separator"></h:outputText></td>
<td><rich:separator lineType="double" height="1" styleClass="rich-separator"/></td>
<tr>
</table>

The separator does not show in the page, it just disappears but if i put any component in the second < td > say another h:outputText along with the <rich:separator> both the components showup. Any idea why the separator disappears and appears?

2. because of problem 1 I am trying to start the separator on the page something like this:

<table>
<tr>
<td><h:outputText value="Separator"></h:outputText>
<rich:separator lineType="double" height="1" styleClass="rich-separator"/>
</td>
<tr>
</table>

i.e. using only a single < td >.

I wanted the result to look like this :
"Separator_________________________________"

but the code actually renders the separator below the h:outputText :

"Separator
_____________________________________"

Could someone please tell me why the separator is wrapping down even if i am putting both the outputText and separator in the same < td >.

Thanks a lot in advance.

how about defining the width for separator?

[sovereign]

Thanks for the reply Sergey. I actually cant declare the width for the separator because the text size actually varies thoughout the page and I am using this separator in many palces. I needed a separator that would kind of fill in the rest of the spaces in the last column after that text. Could you please help me out with that?

Thanks a lot.

<tr>
</table>

Separator fills the rest of the space by default. However, the problem that in your code, this space is 0px.
May be you mean

<table width="100%">
