This apex:inputField is in page block with apex:inputField their is also a apex:selectOption, to reduce the space between these 2 fields i put them in a apex:pageBlockSectionItem, now these fields are closer to each other but the label of the field is not get displayed.

My code:

<apex:pageBlockSectionItem>

         <apex:inputField value="{!Event.StartDate_forEvent__c}" required="true" label="Start"> 
            <apex:actionSupport event="onchange" rerender="Event_view" action="{!rerender}">
                <apex:param name="startDate_VF" value="{!Event.StartDate_forEvent__c}" assignTo="{!startDate_VF}"/>
            </apex:actionSupport>
         </apex:inputField>

        <apex:selectList id="chooseStartTime" value="{!startTime_FromVf}" size="1">
            <apex:selectOption itemValue="01:00" itemLabel="01:00"/>

        </apex:pageBlockSectionItem> 

Does anybody tell me what need to be done to get the label displayed. i am also using label in apex:inputField.

Edited: I put the outputtext outside the panal. But even then i am getting time and date inputtext in a row i need then in a column.

Now it is look like

Answer 1

See this documentation link

Note that if you include an <apex:outputField> or an <apex:inputField> component in an <apex:pageBlockSectionItem>, these components do not display with their label or custom help text as they do when they are children of an <apex:pageBlockSectionItem>. Also note that <apex:pageBlockSectionItem> components cannot be rerendered; rerender the child components instead.

Not to worry though! Just do this:

<apex:outputLabel value="[Label value goes here]" for="[inputText's ID goes here]"/>
<apex:inputText value="{![your value goes here]}" id="[inputText's ID goes here]"/> 

Note however that you can only have two items inside a pageBlockSection item, so you may need to rework your page a little

EDIT: On that note, one way to get round the two item limit would be to use

<apex:outputPanel> 

...to bunch items together

Answer 2

You can use apex:outputLabel instead
