styleClass doesn't work with outputField

The class attribute isn't being set when I use outputField. As you can see in my example the HTML output is missing the class attribute which was set to XXX


My Page:


<apex:page controller="TestPageCon">
    <apex:outputField styleClass='XXX' value='{!field.amount}'/>
</apex:page>


My Controller:


public class TestPageCon {
    public Opportunity getField() {
        return [select id, amount from Opportunity limit 1];
    }
}


Actual HTML output:


<span id="j_id0:j_id1">$60,000.00</span>

Where did my XXX go?

Where is the css? Is it embed with Style tags or are you using the apex:stylesheet tag?

I don't have one defined but that's besides the point. I could add <style>.XXX{color:red;}</style> if I wanted to and I still wouldn't get my class="XXX" in my HTML output.

You are correct. I think I remember reading about a knowb issue with style and styleClass attributes on outputFields. I think the suggested solution was to wrap the output field in a <span class="xxx"> element.

I found that if I use outputText the class="XXX" HTML output works, but now my currency isn't formatted with with dollar signs and commas. Is there an easy way to format a number to look like currency?

Wrapping the fields in an outputpanel works for me, styling and formatting:

 

<apex:outputpanel styleClass="OfferTextHeader">
	<apex:outputtext value="{!$Label.RMOfferPrice} "/> 
	<apex:outputfield value="{!Offer.Price__c}"/> 
</apex:outputpanel>

Crazy that in 2015, we are still having this exact same issue.

In 2016, too.

I noted in a related thread (https://developer.salesforce.com/forums/?id=906F000000094uuIAA) that no attributes of outputField work except "value".
