Incorporating Dynamic Data Part IV
By the time a visitor sees an active Web page in his or her browser, its data
should blend seamlessly into the rest of the page. As with a well-crafted
form letter, the reader shouldn??™t be able to tell where the basic structure
starts and the dynamically generated data begins. Much of the work in
Dreamweaver consists of properly placing and formatting data into a page layout.
You??™re not limited to dynamically integrating basic text into your Web applications
with Dreamweaver. After text is included, you can format its look and feel
on both the client and the server sides. Additionally, you can include images,
form elements such as checkboxes and drop-down lists, and even multimedia
elements such as Flash movies on-the-fly. Finally, Dreamweaver permits almost
any HTML attribute to be dynamically altered. This chapter explores all the fundamentals
necessary for integrating dynamic data into your Web page.
Working with Dynamic Text
The Bindings panel is the key tool for accessing dynamic text. With a recordset
expanded, any or all of the available fields within it are ready to be placed on the
page. Moreover, after a field is inserted into the page and selected, the Bindings
panel reflects its current data format.
