Two row table header (or more then two)

[samkwitty]

Is there a way to specify an extra row in the header of a table?

In otherwords the generated HTML should look like so:

<table>

     <thead>

          <tr><td></td><td></td></tr>

          <tr><td></td><td></td></tr>

     </thead>

     <tbody>

          <tr><td></td><td></td></tr>

          ....

          <tr><td></td><td></td></tr>

    </tbody>

<table>

check richfaces-demo(if need 3.3.x) or richfaces-showcase(if use rf-4).

You should use rich:columnGroup component for header facet. and breakBefore, rowSpan, colSpan attributes for the column.

Thanks for the reply...

However, I don't think that works (or maybe I don't understand how to make that work). The functionality you are pointing to will allow me to have a "master" header above grouped columns and/or a row in the data part which spans multiple columns. What I am trying to do is have the header of each column consists of two header rows.

but visually with master header you could achieve the double-line header above the columns like there http://livedemo.exadel.com/richfaces-demo/richfaces/dataTable.jsf Or I'm still missing something. Actually the column facet header is getting encoded intop the same thead but allows to output only single th.. So in your case you have to deal with master table header and construct it as you need on your own.

Right except that I want double header rows per column. Using the online example the master header would need to have 3 colums in it. Hope that makes sense.
