I want JSF expression language to expand #(bean.property} before I access it in code so that I can get access to the CSS3 top and left property values in a in-line html style. Here is the JSF html expression that populates left and top in the webpage source, but do not appear in ViewRoot elements:
<h:outputText id="pg" value="${item.displayphrase.content}" style="margin:0px;padding:0px;position:absolute;left:10px;top:${item.displayphrase.topPos}px;width:${item.displayphrase.width}px " immediate="true" />
