surprise, surprise! Lavish praise to the developers!

Hi all!

Today I coded by mistake - as I realized later:

<div class="pageTitle">#{messages.driver}</div>

... and - surprise! - I saw an internationalized message.
Mind, that this is a div tag, not a s:div tag!!
So, they also parse EL within standard HTML tags!
This saves many <h:outputText> tags!.

Disadvantage: no code completion on properties available.

Best regards, Robert

<h:outputText>

has one advantage, it can encode a string.

EL winthin standard HTML is a standard JSF or even JSP thing, not specific to seam.

Thank you both for your infos!

I think in all examples in the Seam space you only see EL within non HTML tags.

EL winthin standard HTML is a standard JSF or even JSP thing, not specific to seam.

Maybe I mixed it up someway with the fact that JSF removes all text that stands outside a tag in the body.

Cheers, Robert
