Question

I would like to be able to conditionally omit a footer from a PrimeFaces panel element:

I have come across a similar issue with plain JSF. I am not sure how a is rendered, but if it is rendered as a table, you can try this:

First, declare a CSS-class like this:

.HideFooter tfoot {
    display: none;
}

Then set that class conditionally on the panel:

The footer is still rendered in the JSF-sense, but it is not displayed and does not take up any space in the page when viewed by the user-agent.
