I'm trying to understand how to add JSF capabilities to an HTML5 document (instead of doing the other way around), and now I see that if I add a jsf:id attribute to an element, the attribute is rendered in the browser as-is (jsf:id) and not as simply id (it doesn't happend with jsf:value in a <input> element, which is rendered as simply value). And now I've seen that some people add both attributes id and jsf:id. Now i am confused.

I understand that I need id if, for instance, I want to access that element via jQuery, but why do I need jsf:id then? couldn't I just add the jsf namespace to other attributein the same element so that the element is processed by the JSF engine, or is jsf:id useful for something else (in the managed bean maybe)?

Thanks

What html tag/element did you add `jsf:id` to where it did not work? Did you read https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23600823/pure-html-5-tag-support-in-jsf-2 – Kukeltje Aug 21 '18 at 17:04
This is the tag in my `xhtml`: `` and this is the rendered result: `` – Juan Menéndez Buitrago Aug 22 '18 at 08:14

You can edit your question and add relevant things like this in there – Kukeltje Aug 22 '18 at 09:21
Sure you use the right namespace for the `jsf:` prefix?? – Kukeltje Aug 22 '18 at 09:23
I'm using this `xmlns:jsf="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf"` – Juan Menéndez Buitrago Aug 24 '18 at 10:45
