Description Xiaonan Jiang CLA 2008-11-05 09:39:49 EST 
Build ID: M-3.0.3-20081102205312

Steps To Reproduce:
1. Create a Faces dynamic web project
2. Create a JSF page
3. Drop a dataTable on the page
4. Set the "var" attribute value to "test"
5. Drop an inputText outside the <h:dataTable> tag.
6. Set its "value" attribute value to "#{}", move the cursor between the {} and show the content assist list.

Problem: the variable "test" is shown although <h:inputText> is not nested inside <h:dataTable>.

Usually the var defined is used in the child tags, but there is a special case in the <f:selectItems> tag in JSF 2.0: the defined var is used in the tag itself, e.g.,

<f:selectItems value="#{bean.items} var="myvar" itemLabel="myvar.label"/>
