JSF HTML5 support
HTML5 is the latest version of the HTML specification and includes several improvements over the previous version of HTML. Modern versions of JSF include several features to make JSF pages work nicely with HTML5.
HTML5-friendly markup
Through the use of pass-through elements, we can develop our pages using HTML5 and also treat them as JSF components. To do this, we need to specify at least one element attributes using http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf namespace. The following example demonstrates this approach in action:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:jsf="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf"> <head jsf:id="head"> <title>JSF Page with HTML5 Markup</title> <link jsf:library="css" jsf:name="styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="resources/css/styles.css"/> </head> <body jsf:id="body"> <form jsf:prependId="false"> <table style="border-spacing...
