The BLOB
protocol is not supported directly in Dreamweaver.
Just as you can assign a dynamic value to the![]()
tag??™s src attribute, you can assign any datasource
??“derived value to any other attribute by binding (attaching) the field to the attribute. Attributes are
generally assigned dynamic values through the Bindings panel or the Property inspector, after which the
Bindings panel displays the attribute attached to each field in the Binding column. A data field used for
dynamic images, for instance, shows img.src in its Binding column.
I recently used Dreamweaver to create a content-management system for a client. The page uses a standard
template with areas for the heading, bylines, content, and images, served dynamically according to the topic.
The images each have a specific alignment??”some are set to the browser default, whereas others are aligned
left or right. To handle this correctly, you create a separate field for image alignment in the data source.

Making Data Dynamic 20
With the database properly prepared, the attributes are set dynamically by following these steps:
1. Select the placeholder for the dynamic image, which is already inserted on the page.
2. From the Bindings panel, select the field that contains the data for the attribute you??™d like to
dynamically generate.
