[richfaces-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (RF-2977) Caption not rendered immediately after table element in rich:dataTable

[ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/RF-2977?page=all ] Peter Haldbæk updated RF-2977: ------------------------------ Description: According to the HTML 4.01 specification the CAPTION element is only permitted immediately after the TABLE start tag. When using the rich:dataTable component together with the f:facet caption component a COLGROUP tag is inserted before the CAPTION tag making the html invalid. Consider the following snippet: <rich:dataTable id="list" var="region" value="#{regions.regions}"> <f:facet name="caption">Regions</f:facet> <rich:column> <f:facet name="header">Value</f:facet> <h:outputText value="#{region.value}" /> </rich:column> <rich:column> <f:facet name="header">Label</f:facet> <h:outputText value="#{region.label}" /> </rich:column> </rich:dataTable> Where the parameter 'regions' is a seam component containing a method getRegions returning a List of SelectItem (containing the methods getValue and getLabel). This will result in HTML like this: <table id="list" class="dr-table rich-table" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"> <colgroup span="2"/> <caption class="dr-table-caption rich-table-caption">Regions</caption> ... </table> which is invalid HTML. I have seen this in earlier versions (pre 3.2.0) of RichFaces as well. was: According to the HTML 4.01 specification the CAPTION element is only permitted immediately after the TABLE start tag.
