Encode behavior

Renders the component an HTML <table> element. UIColumn child components are responsible for rendering the table columns. The columns can hold any type of component, including input components and command components.

Both the data table component and its column children may be equipped with header and footer facets. The table’s header facet is rendered as one <th> element (with a colspan attribute set to the number of children) within a <tr> element, and column header facets are rendered as <th> elements within a separate <tr> element. A <thead> element encloses both header <tr> elements. The footer facets, if any, are rendered in a similar manner, but with <td> elements instead of <th> and a <tfoot> element instead of the <thead> element. CSS style classes for the header and footer cells can be specified by the headerClass and footerClass attributes.

The table rows are rendered within a <tbody> element, with a <tr> element for each row and a <td> element for each column child. The first row to render and how many rows to render can be specified by the first and row attributes, and CSS style classes for the rows and cells can be specified by the rowClasses and columnClasses attributes.

Decode behavior
