Visualforce apex:inputfield tag
<apex:inputfield> :- Inputfield tag is used to insert salesforce objects like standard objects and custom objects. E:- If we want to insert standard object Contact details, we used <apexinputfield value=”{!account.name}”>. Here we are inserting Account name field which is required field. <apex:inputfield> tag automatically makes that field as required in visualforce page.

Let us See how< apex:inputfield> tag works.
Here we are creating a form to create new account in salesforce.com. Every VF page must be started with <apex:page>.
- standardcontroller=“Account” means we are using standard object “Account” as a controller.
- ShowHeader=”false” helps not to display Headers and sidebar.
- In <apex:form> tag only we have to write pageblock, pageblocksection and input fields.
- To save the user defined input values Save button is used.
- Click on Save button.
