What visualforce tag are you using?

 

<apex:outputText> or <apex:outputField>?

 

If you are using the <apex:outputText> I would review the documenation here. Look at the outputText field in the Standard Component References section:

 

http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/pages/index.htm

 

With outputText can format numbers like:

<apex:outputText value="{0, number, 000,000.00}">
       <apex:param value="{!Account.AnnualRevenue}" />
 </apex:outputText>

Hi People,

 

Is there any way i can use it for input fields too?

 

Here is the problem im having:

 

I enter a decimal value 10 for an inputfield and click next to go to another block. and when i click back..the input field shows '10.0' instead of '10.00' even though im using setscale(2). any thoughts on this?
