Dreamweaver offers a fast and simple way to add a table of records
with a Repeat Region in just one step. Choose Insert ??? Application Objects ??? Dynamic Table or click the
Dynamic Table icon in the Application tag of the Insert bar. The Dynamic Table dialog box, shown in
Figure 21-3, is now active.
FIGURE 21-3
Use the Dynamic Table Application object to add dynamic lists of tabular data quickly. You can save lots of time by
skipping the tedious task of adding all your dynamic text manually.
This dialog box has just a few options:
n Recordset: Choose the recordset you want displayed in your table.
n Show: Choose whether to show a limited number of records or all records. This adds a regular
Repeat Region to your field, just as you did earlier in this section.
n Table attributes: Specify your table border, cell padding, and cell spacing.
After you click OK, the table contains the field names in the first row, the data items in the second row, and
a Repeat Region wrapped around the second row, as shown in Figure 21-4.
