Can we please get a spacer control to force gaps into certain page areas. Also a control will be most welcome; there is an anchor control though.
Are you asking for components which renders as spaces (or 's)? Passing to components.
Spacers; a trick I often use to get web page elements in row/column pairs properly aligned; it basically puts a transparent 1x1 gif in certain table columns; it's width-height are then changed thus forcing a specific column width or height when rendered. nbsp; there's an existing control anchor that simply just renders the anchor tag in the page - it does not do anything - but usefull at the moment to just put blank content into certain jsf grid panel areas; the ideal one would be the spacer explained above but it's sometimes also very useful to force one or more non-breaking white spaces between two or more controls; so the nbsp; control will simply just render a specified number of 's on the page; a component that renders spaces are no good; it must be - most browsers will remove spaces but the forces the space.
