Wrapping JSF components with DIV

Question

I have DIV element with a header style enclosing a h:outputText but when the page renders i see the HTML is formed in such a way that my div doesnot contain the label generated by the h:outputText instead i see the label above my DIV . Am i doing it wrong? i tried f:verbatim but didn't help either

In future questions, please explicitly mention JSF version used. — BalusC, Mar 02 '12 at 18:20

Based on your question history you're using the ancient JSF 1.1. The <f:verbatim> way should work. Perhaps you've enclosed JSF components inside <f:verbatim>. You should not do that. It should only contain raw HTML.

<f:verbatim><div></f:verbatim>
    <h:outputText value="Some text." />
<f:verbatim></div></f:verbatim>

Since JSF 1.2 the <f:verbatim> is not necessary anymore. JSF 1.2 should work on all environments where JSF 1.1 is been used. I strongly recommend to upgrade.
