Then highlight the desired dynamic data and click the Insert button on the bottom
of the Bindings panel.
Occasionally, the dot notation syntax leads to extremely long names, which can make the layout
process more difficult. You can switch from using the curly braces and full data name to
just using the curly braces??”and then switch back again??”by choosing the desired option from the Show
Dynamic Text As drop-down list. (This list is found under the Invisible Elements category of Preferences.)
Viewing dynamic data
You have three basic ways to see your page with the data extracted from the data source and fully integrated
into the HTML:
n Upload the page to your remote testing server and view it through a Web browser.
n Use Dreamweaver??™s Preview in Browser feature to test your page on the testing server.
Dreamweaver takes care of uploading the files for you.
n Switch to Live Data view within Dreamweaver.
The final method is, by far, the handiest to use during the design process, although the other two methods
are important and should be included in a regular routine of Web application development. Live Data view
has one key advantage over the other methods: You can continue to work on your page with the data in
place. This facility is a major boon to application productivity.
