All the Dreamweaver Techniques in this chapter as well as those in the other chapters in the
Incorporating Dynamic Data part of this book rely on a dynamic site.
Although it is possible to use the same site previously created for the Dreamweaver
Techniques, it??™s easier to create a second site specifically for dynamic applications.
1. Copy the Techniques folder from the CD-ROM to your Web server root. On Windows, the Web
Server root is located at C:\Inetpub\wwwroot; on Macintosh you??™ll find it at
/Users/your_user_name/Sites.
2. Choose Site ??? Manage Sites.
3. Select New ??? Site to open the Site Definition dialog box.
4. Make sure the Advanced tab is selected.
5. In the General Info category, enter Techniques - Dynamic in the Site Name field.
6. Select the folder icon next to the Local Site Root field and locate the Techniques folder copied to
your Web server root.
7. Switch to the Testing Server category.

Setting up a Dynamic Site
Opening a Connection to a Data Source
If you??™re a Star Trek fan (of any generation), you??™re likely to remember the phrase ???Open a channel,
Lieutenant.??? With these words, the Captain was asking to establish a communication link between the
Enterprise and whatever alien vessel was hovering nearby.
