            Hide
            The workaround is to make sure that the nested children appear all in a single line, from the end of the opening ace:tooltip tag to the beginning of the closing tag. Likewise, any included resources via ui:include must follow this rule, from the end of the opening ui:composition tag to the beginning of the closing tag. For example:

            <ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
            xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
            xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
            xmlns:ace="http://www.icefaces.org/icefaces/components"><div><h:outputText value="tooltip text" /></div></ui:composition>
            Show

            Description

            When loading a page that contains an ace:tooltip component and such component doesn't specify a 'value' attribute but has nested children to display, a Javascript error is thrown in the browser console, reporting an unterminated string. The problem is that this component is initialized via a jQuery call, which must contain the content to be displayed inside a string argument. If the nested markup contains any spaces or new lines, the string is considered unterminated and the code is invalid.
