This is a simple JSP custom tags library with tag body. Just like the JSF counterpart , it splits a string and repeats the body for each word, i.e., with this markup:
<%@ taglib uri="http://custom.tag.com/demo" prefix...
output:
<html>
<body>
<p>Hello Tigger!</p>

There are two ways to validate a form with JSF: jsf validation on the page with <f:validate...> tags (for example: <f:validateLength> , <f:validateRegex> , etc.), or JSR303 bean validation. This note is about how to customize messages for JSR303 bean validation. The validation message is specified in the message attribute for each validation annotation type. The mesage attribute is not a literal string, but a string that is interpolated in various ways. For example, the default validation message for AssertFalse is {javax.validation.constraints.AssertFalse.message} , which is replaced with the corresponding string in ValidationMessages.properties (or ValidationMessages_tr.properties , ValidationMessages_es.properties , depending on the locale). This is the contents of ValidationMessages.properties in the hibernate validator reference implementation:
javax.validation.constraints.AssertFalse.message =... To customize the messages, just provide the new value in...

In the simple taglib example , I used a tag handler class to implement a taglib. This is an example to implement a taglib with a UI component. The purpose is to use a custom tag to split a string and print each part in a separate paragraph, i.e., print
<p>john</p> <p>steve</p> <p>mike</p> with custom tag <my:foreach> : <my:foreach var="who" value="john steve mike"> ... These are the files: pom.xml <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"... src/main/java/com/example/UIForeash.java : package com.example; import java.io.IOExcep... src/main/resources/META-INF/faces-config.xml : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <faces-c... src/main/resources/META-INF/foreach.taglib.xml : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <facelet...

This is a step-by-step example to create a really simple facelet taglib (in JSF 2 with Maven). Create a simple Maven project with:
mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=com.example -Dartif... Three files are created as a result: pom.xml src/main/java/com/example/App.java src/test/java/com/example/AppTest.java This project should be able to build with: mvn package Add facelet API dependencies to pom.xml : <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.... The compiler plugin section is optional. Remove src/main/java/com/example/App.java , create a new Java class as the facelet Tag Handler ( HelloTagHandler.java ): package com.example; import java.io.IOExcep... This tag handler simply prints a "Hello" message. Create facelet tag declaration file src/main/resources/META-INF/hello.taglib.xml : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <facelet... Build the JAR with mvn clean package Optionally, install it to the local repository: mvn install To use the taglib, simply drop the...

Using JSTL tags in JSF facelets is quite simple: just add the XML namespace for the JSTL tags and use them in the page.
An example of using the <c:if> tag:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Trans...

Deciding which one to use is not that easy. Chrome and Safari always use document.body.scrollTop , while IE and Firefox use document.body.scrollTop for quirks mode and document.documentElement.scrollTop for standard mode.
Your best bet may be something like:
var scrollTop = document.body.scrollTop || doc...
Test page for quirks mode:
<html>
<head>
<title>Quirks Mode</title>
...
Test page for standard mode:
<!doctype html>

The code presented here is a simple implementation of a tab set. It is used to demo how a tab set could be implemented. The code is stand alone and does not depend on any JavaScript libraries. Multiple tab sets within the same page is supported.
The HTML markup is fairly simple:
Tabs sets are contained within a DIV element with class name "tabsContainer".
Define a UL list for the tabs.
Follow the UL list with equal number of DIVs for the tab contents.
The Nifty Corners Cube technique is used to draw the rounded corners (original form, not the enhanced JavaScript form).
HTML, CSS and JavaScript:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<style typ...

You can grab some animated icons here: http://mentalized.net/activity-indicators/ . And here's some code to demonstrate how to use such an icon.
<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript"...
However, if you use Ajax and send a synchronous request, the icon won't show up at all, i.e., the following code doesn't work:
function eventHandler() {
startBusy();
...
This works:
function eventHandler() {
startBusy();
...
