Is your text being read from a properties file for inl8 messages.. I think it's not a problem with Seam but rather cus I am using the java properties mechanism (via seam via FSF messages!)... e.g. | <s:formattedText value="#{messages.captcha_hint}" /> | If there is a way to push it just father than anyone imaged then I will find it ;) :/ View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4078556#...
