I made a jsf project and have the following example from http://docs.openlayers.org/library/introduction.html but as a xhtml file this wouldn’t run and as a html file it would run. How to run it with jsf and .xhtml. It runs with html though.

    You’re executing JavaScript code inline. This means that the JavaScript code is immediately executed as the webbrowser encounters the particular code line. At that point, the <div id="map"> does not exist in the HTML DOM tree yet! The browser namely parses and executes HTML/JS code from top to bottom.

    You need to execute that JavaScript code after the <div id="map"> has been created and added to the HTML DOM tree. You could achieve it the following ways:

    1. Move the <script> block in the markup to after the <div id="map">:

      <h:head>
    <script src="http://openlayers.org/api/OpenLayers.js"></script>
</h:head>
<body>
    <div style="width:100%; height:100%" id="map"></div>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        var map = new OpenLayers.Map('map');
        var wms = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS( "OpenLayers WMS",
        "http://vmap0.tiles.osgeo.org/wms/vmap0", {layers: 'basic'} );
        map.addLayer(wms);
        map.zoomToMaxExtent();
    </script>
</body>

    2. Use window.onload to execute the code only when the browser is finished creating the HTML DOM tree.

      <h:head>
    <script src="http://openlayers.org/api/OpenLayers.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        window.onload = function() {
            var map = new OpenLayers.Map('map');
            var wms = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS( "OpenLayers WMS",
            "http://vmap0.tiles.osgeo.org/wms/vmap0", {layers: 'basic'} );
            map.addLayer(wms);
            map.zoomToMaxExtent();
        };
    </script>
</h:head>

    This problem is not related to JSF or XHTML. It’s just basic HTML/JS.
