Skinning: can't get rid of padding in panelFormLayout

Question

Hi OTN,
I'm a bit stuck with skinning, trying to get rid of a component padding:

Here is a page structure:

And here's Chrome style stack which shows that "padding-left:0", applied by my custom skin, is overriden with "padding-left: 9px" element style and I don't know where it comes from:

Here's this place source:
<af:panelGroupLayout ...>
          <af:panelFormLayout labelWidth="100" ...>
            <af:panelLabelAndMessage styleClass="NoLeftPadding" inlineStyle="padding-left: 3px;" ...>
              <af:switcher ...>
                <f:facet ...>
                  <af:panelGroupLayout layout="horizontal" ...>
                    <af:outputText .../>
                    <af:commandLink inlineStyle="margin-left: 5px;" .../>
                  </af:panelGroupLayout>
                </f:facet>
                <f:facet ...>
                  <af:panelGroupLayout inlineStyle="padding: 0;" ...>
                    <af:inputNumberSpinbox simple="true" contentStyle="padding: 0;" ...>
                    </af:inputNumberSpinbox>
                    <af:spacer width="10" height="10" .../>
                    <af:switcher ...>
                      <f:facet ...>
                        <af:outputLabel .../>
                      </f:facet>
                      <f:facet ...>
                        <af:group ...>
                          <af:outputLabel .../>
                          <af:commandLink .../>
                        </af:group>
                      </f:facet>
                    </af:switcher>
                    <af:commandLink .../>
                  </af:panelGroupLayout>
                </f:facet>
              </af:switcher>
            </af:panelLabelAndMessage>
            </af:panelFormLayout>
         </af:panelGroupLayout>Need some advice, please.
Thanks.

Answer 1

Ilya, it seems that some components in panelLabelAndMessage make this hardcoded inline-style to appear (problem is that you can't override inline style with style classes), but you can always try to use another component with similar functionalty.
For example, outputText will cause to appear this padding, but activeOutputText will not.
Hope that will help as a workaround.
