Lookup fields Visualforce

I'm trying to find the properly way to display a lookup field on a Visualforce for a custom object/field. All of the examples I keep seeing are for standard fields (AccountID ; UserID). 

<apex:inputfield id="Vendor_Classification__c" value="{!Vendor_Classification__c.Vendor__c}" required="true"/>

What is the proper syntax to display the Vendor__c lookup field as a link ?

Hi,

If you want to display that as a link you need to use <apex:outputfield> tag instead of <apex:inputfield> as shown below
  
<apex:inputfield id="Vendor_Classification__c" value="{!Vendor_Classification__r.Vendor__c}"/>

Let me know if that help you.


Thanks,
Himanshu

The lookup will automatic show as an magnifying glass.  What's wrong with you code, does it not work?
