Summary
Incorporating dynamic data into your standard Web pages is a core skill for building data-driven Web applications,
along with establishing a data source connection and defining a recordset. After you have these three
components in place, you can begin combining HTML pages with text, images, and even multimedia data.
Dreamweaver combines sophisticated connectivity with drag-and-drop simplicity for quick insertion of
dynamic content. Keep the following items in mind as you begin to integrate data-driven and static content:
n The Bindings panel displays fields available for inserting into a Web document, much like the
Assets panel, which shows available images and other elements. Like the Assets panel, data is
inserted from the Bindings panel through a drag-and-drop procedure. For complex layouts, you
can position your cursor precisely and click the Insert button instead of dragging and dropping
the dynamic fields.
n Dynamic text accepts two types of formatting: client-side and server-side. Client-side formatting is
another term for standard HTML and CSS formatting; dynamic text may be styled with the same
tags and attributes as regular text. The final look for these tags and attributes is interpreted by the
browser. Server-side formatting, on the other hand, reshapes the data from the data source before
it passes it on to the browser.
