title: Validation on selectOneMenu to display message in a SPAN
body: <p>I have a drop down box in a JSF 1.2 web application:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;h:selectOneMenu value=“#{value}" required="true" requiredMessage="Please select a value."&gt;
    &lt;f:selectItem itemValue="#{null}" itemLabel=“Please Select" /&gt;
    &lt;f:selectItem itemValue=“1" itemLabel=“£1" /&gt;
    &lt;f:selectItem itemValue=“2" itemLabel=“£2" /&gt;
    &lt;f:selectItem itemValue=“3" itemLabel=“£3" /&gt;
    &lt;f:selectItem itemValue=“4" itemLabel=“£4" /&gt;
    &lt;f:selectItem itemValue=“5" itemLabel=“£5" /&gt;
  &lt;/h:selectOneMenu&gt;
  &lt;h:messages/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Which when a value is not selected, the message <strong>Please select a value</strong> is displayed.</p>
  
  <p>However, is message is displayed in a <code>&lt;ul&gt;</code> <code>&lt;li&gt;</code>. How can i display this message in a <code>&lt;span&gt;</code></p>
