[SalesForce] Aligning input fields VisualForce

So i have these Input fields that are conditionally rendered but they do not align with the other input fields.

Code for Deal Scenario:

<apex:inputField value="{!oppobj.Deal_Scenario_CSA__c}" required="true"  onchange="return ChangeDealScenario('{!$Component.scenario}')" id="scenario" rendered="{!(ordertypecur !='CMR') && oppobj.Product__c !='Margin Escalator' && oppobj.Product__c !='Materials OM Growth' }"/>

To compare to, here is the code for the Op Plan button

<apex:inputField value="{!oppobj.Op_Plan__c}"/>

So the code above shows Deal Scenario. The input box is not aligned with the others and I'm not sure why. Some of the other input boxes are also conditionally rendered. If I add div tag to align the same result happens. It just doesn't align with the other boxes. Any help appreciated.

The problem isn't the code you've posted, but the surrounding code. apex:inputField should ideally be a direct child of apex:pageBlockSection in order to render correctly. You might need to use an apex:pageBlockSectionItem to help realign the elements. Use of "rendered", "required", "onchange", etc should not affect the alignment.

[SalesForce] Create VisualForce input that uses Lookup popup

Per Jeff Douglas's ROLL YOUR OWN SALESFORCE "LOOKUP" POPUP WINDOW blog post, one way to do this is to simply create a dummy instance of an object that has a relationship with the one you want to perform a lookup on, and then use the appropriate property of that instance as the value of an inputField.

From his post:

MyCustomLookupController

Here's the Apex controller for the record you are either creating or editing. This is an extremely simple controller that just creates a new contact so you can use the lookup for the related account field.
public with sharing class MyCustomLookupController {

  public Contact contact {get;set;}

  public MyCustomLookupController() {
    contact = new Contact();
  }

}
MyCustomLookup

[ ... lots of code omitted; see the original post for full content ... ]
<apex:inputField id="Account" value="{!contact.AccountId}"/>

This is an ugly, hacky solution, and I'd hoped to find something cleaner, but it works. It'd be even uglier if you didn't already have an object with a field of the right type; in that case, I guess you could create a custom object whose entire purpose was to be used for this hack.

[SalesForce] In lightning components, How to check if input value really changed

You could use a handler for that.

Add this to your component:

<aura:handler name="change" value="{!v.value}" action="{!c.valueChanged}"/>

v.value = aura:attribute

c.valueChanged = method in your lightning controller

Then your ui:input would be like so:

<ui:inputNumber aura:id="someFld" 
            class="slds-input" 
            value="{!v.value}"
            change="{c.valueChanged}">
</ui:inputNumber>

Example here.
