Apex Input field.

The following code:
Customer Name<apex:inputField value="{!Customer__c.Name}"

Displays the input field below 'Customer Name' and not side by side as expected.
Any clue, Why it is doing that?

The apex:inputField tag eventually generates a table in the html which is why the inputfield elements are showing up in a new line. Changing the markup to

<apex:pageBlock >
	<apex:inputField label="Customer Name" value="{!Customer__c.Name__c}"/><br />
</apex:pageBlock>

 should do the trick

Here is the code:

 

apex:page standardController="Customer__c">

<apex:form >  <!-- Begin Default Content REMOVE THIS -->

            Hello {!$User.FirstName}  <br />

                        <apex:pageBlock >Customer Name

                                    <apex:inputField value="{!Customer__c.Name__c}"/><br />

                        </apex:pageBlock>

            </apex:form>

 </apex:page>

This doesn't work for me for some reason:
 
<apex:inputField label="Customer Name" value="{!Customer__c.Name__c}"/>

There is no label displayed. Please help
