You can insert your dynamic elements first, followed by HTML objects, or you can build the
HTML page before adding your data. Many designers, whether they??™re working by themselves or on a team,
find the latter method more productive. One common technique is to use static placeholders to mark where
the dynamic data should go, as shown in Figure 20-2.
FIGURE 20-2
You can use plain HTML placeholders to indicate where the dynamic data should be dropped from the Bindings panel.

Incorporating Dynamic Data Part IV
Perhaps the quickest way to bring dynamic data onto the page is to use the drag-and-drop capability, as
detailed in the following steps:
1. In the Document window, select the static placeholder text to be replaced by the dynamic data.
2. From the Bindings panel, expand your recordset or other data source until the desired field or
dynamic element is displayed.
3. Drag the dynamic data from the Bindings panel and drop it on the selected text.
If you are not using placeholder text, you can drop the dynamic data wherever you??™d like it to appear.
In some situations??”when a table has many dynamic data fields, for example??”the Insert method is easier
than the drag-and-drop technique. For those cases, first select the placeholder text or position your cursor if
no placeholders are used.
