Spacing between Panelgrid

Question

Hi,
I want to add some spaces between two panelgrid.For this I'm simply adding one outputText control with some styleclass with spacing.There is no use of this control as per functionality.
I just want to know is it good to add some components like this? Is there any other way to give spaces.
Thanks,
Bosky.

I found using stylesheets was one way to adjust the spacing around rows and columns. If you need it in a specific location then add a 'div' element.
Here's an example of .jsp using a dataTable (whose html output is very similar to panel grid). I know panelGrid and dataTable both have the headerClass and columnClasses attributes.
<div class="marshal">
<h:dataTable headerClass="cc0" columnClasses="cc1, cc2, cc3, cc4" value="#{myBean.participants}" var="participant">
</div>Then in your stylesheet:.marshal table th.cc0 {
    font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 1.2em;
.marshal table td {
    padding-right: 10px;
    vertical-align: top;
.marshal table td.cc3, td.cc4 {
    text-align: right;
}
