This is probably because you are inside a pageblocksection - try closing that before your table markup.

Hi, 

 

You can use <apex:inputField> instead of <apex:inputText> if you need to bind the values.

 

Let me know if it works for you!

Rather than using <input type="text" ..., use <apex:input> components - that will bind the input to the field in the sobject from the controller

 

E.g.

 

   <tr>
      <td><apex:inputField value="{!e.College_University__c}"/></td>
      <td><apex:inputField value="{!e.Year_Granted__c}"/></td>
      <td><apex:inputField value="{!e.Degree_Granted__c}"/></td>
      <td><apex:inputField value="{!e.Major__c}"/></td>
     </tr>

 You'll also need to wrap all of the input elements in an <apex:form> component to allow postback of the values.

No i have already tried inputfield its not working ...if possible suggest me anyother way of dng that.
bob_buzzardbob_buzzard

Input field is the preferred way, as it will handle different types of input for you.

 

You do have the option to use <apex:inputText> components in the same way, but that will only allow you to input into a small text field:

 

     <tr>
      <td><apex:inputText value="{!e.College_University__c}"/></td>
      <td><apex:inputText value="{!e.Year_Granted__c}"/></td>
      <td><apex:inputText value="{!e.Degree_Granted__c}"/></td>
      <td><apex:inputText value="{!e.Major__c}"/></td>
     </tr>
