Alignment of h:column

[evejeba]

While using <h:column> within <h:dataTable>, by default the contents of the table gets left aligned while the table header remains aligned at the center. Moreover the table header has properties for sorting the table contents. I want the table header and the contents to be left aligned. I tried using <div align="left"> and style="text-align: center;", but i am not able to achieve what i want. What changes do i have to make in order to achieve what i need.

<rich:dataTable id="personList"
                var="_person"
              value="#{personList.resultList}"
           rendered="#{not empty personList.resultList}">
    <h:column>
        <f:facet name="header">
            <ui:include src="/layout/sort.xhtml">
                <ui:param name="entityList" value="#{personList}"/>
                <ui:param name="propertyLabel" value="First Name"/>
                <ui:param name="propertyPath" value="person.firstName"/>
            </ui:include>
        </f:facet>
        <h:outputText id="name" value="#{_person.firstName}">               
    </h:column>
</rich:dataTable>

This ia a question for the richfaces forum, not seam...but take a look at using <rich:column> as well as headerClass and columnClass

1. I do not understand why you are using

<h:column>

inside

<rich:dataTable>

2.

<rich:column style="text-align: center;"> </...>

does work
3. It is css related

Lets try to keep this forum clean
