As shown in Figure 2-6, the Text Property inspector even enables you to change characteristics of
the text, such as the size, font, position, or color by assigning a Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) style.
Dreamweaver even helps you along by automatically creating a style if none has been previously assigned.
Drag-and-drop data fields
It??™s one thing to make a connection to a data source; it??™s quite another to actually insert the dynamic data in
the proper place on the Web page. Dreamweaver makes drag-and-drop easy with the Bindings panel. All the
available data sources for a page are displayed in an expandable tree outline in the Bindings panel, as shown
in Figure 2-7. You can insert an instance of any dynamic field displayed in the panel onto the page by either
dropping it into place or clicking the Insert button.
