Custom Component Markup

For a more complex example, you could use a custom component to create a form that is used across multiple Visualforce pages. Create a new custom component named recordDisplay and copy the following code:

Next, create a page called displayRecords and use the following code: For this example to render properly, you must associate the Visualforce page with a valid account record in the URL. For example, if 001D000000IRt53 is the account ID, the resulting URL should be: You should see a page with details about the account you passed in as an ID.

Now, replace the code in displayRecords with the following sample: Again, pass in the ID of a contact before refreshing the page. You should see the page display information about your Contact.
