A read-only display of a label and value for a field on a Salesforce object. An <apex:outputField> component respects the attributes of the associated field, including how it should be displayed to the user. For example, if the specified <apex:outputField> component is a currency field, the appropriate currency symbol is displayed. Likewise, if the <apex:outputField> component is a lookup field or URL, the value of the field is displayed as a link.
Note that if custom help is defined for the field in Setup, the field must be a child of an <apex:pageBlock> or <apex:pageBlockSectionItem>, and the Salesforce page header must be displayed for the custom help to appear on your Visualforce page. To override the display of custom help, use the <apex:outputField> in the body of an <apex:pageBlockSectionItem>.
The Rich Text Area data type can only be used with this component on pages running Salesforce.com API versions greater than 18.0.
This component supports HTML pass-through attributes using the "html-" prefix. Pass-through attributes are attached to the generated container <span> tag.
<!-- For this example to render properly, you must associate the Visualforce page with a valid opportunity record in the URL. For example, if 001D000000IRt53 is the opportunity ID, the resulting URL should be: https://Salesforce_instance/apex/myPage?id=001D000000IRt53 See the Visualforce Developer's Guide Quick Start Tutorial for more information. --> <apex:page standardController="Opportunity" tabStyle="Opportunity"> <apex:pageBlock> <apex:pageBlockSection title="Opportunity Information"> <apex:outputField value="{!opportunity.name}"/> <apex:outputField value="{!opportunity.amount}"/> <apex:outputField value="{!opportunity.closeDate}"/> </apex:pageBlockSection> </apex:pageBlock> </apex:page>
