# Prevent Fields from Dropping Off the Page

Visualforce pages with many fields, especially those with large text area fields or with master-detail relationships to other entities, can fail to display every field requested. Data can be dropped because of batch limits and limits on the size of data returned. To prevent fields from dropping off the page, reduce the number of fields displayed. Alternatively, create a controller extension that can query child records and display the results in related lists.
