Description

One of my page designers pointed out that the autoscroll hidden input location changed between MyFaces Core 1.1.4 and 1.1.5.

Unfortunately, on this page, it moved right in the middle of a navigation bar, causing a visible space between the two buttons it is located between, on both IE and Firefox.

Using my limited html knowledge, I tried saving the html to a file and adding style="display:none" just to see if css might be able to solve the problem. It did not.

My guess is that it is now appearing after the first component to reference autoScroll.

Is there some style we can apply to this input to make it not affect the display (You'd think that'd be the default behavior, wouldn't you?) Barring all that, maybe this hidden input should be moved to right before the closing form end tag, or wherever the rest of the generated hidden inputs are located.

Or is my only option to put an unused hidden h:commandButton at the top of the page?

<h:commandButton style="display: none;" />

Example page output:

'normal'" onmouseover="this.className = 'highlight'"

window.clearFormHiddenParams__id12!='undefined')

{clearFormHiddenParams__id12('_id12');}if(typeof
window.getScrolling!='undefined'){oamSetHiddenInput('_id12','autoScroll',getScrolling());}"
value="Search Records" name="_id12:_id16" id="_id12:_id16">
