okaylah52 How can I set the rows and columns in apex inputField bound to a comment (multiple line text field)?
I am writing a Visualforce page using apex tags.
I have an inputField in a pageBlockSection (1 column).
How can I configure the inputField dimension which is bound to a text field which allows multiple lines (e.g. Task.Description) in my controller?
For example: in HTML code, I can write something like "<textarea rows="20" columns="80">". Can I do the same using apex:inputField? If not and I have to de-couple the label and the input field (using inputTextArea), then how can I bind the value to my variable in my controller? Do I need some kind of Javascript or Ajax to do the job?
Thanks.

Hi, I used the style and changed the inputField layout, but still, for a text field, when user enters data, it won't change rows (word wrap), all input data are in one row....
Is there a way to let it change rows as per the width of the style?

If you use inputfield, it will automatically bind to that variable. you need to do like this.
<apex:input value="{!objectname.fieldname}"/>
Thanks

Solution is to use style something like...
<apex:page controller="MyController"> <style> .dim_a {width:400px; height:150px;}.dim_b {width:200px; height:60px;}
</style> ...
<apex:inputField value="{!myTask.location}" styleClass="dim_b"/>
<apex:inputField value="{!myTask.Description}" styleClass="dim_a"/> ... </apex:page>
