It enables developers to
work with the layout while the actual data is live on the page. If a table width
needs to be adjusted because one of the records is too long, you can make the
change immediately with no guesswork.
Live Data view processes the page in the chosen server model. If the page
requires variables, such as search criteria, to run properly, the Live Data feature
enables you to set such values as needed. Although a preliminary discussion of
Live Data was presented in Chapter 20, this chapter covers all the necessary
details for using both basic and advanced Live Data capabilities.
Live Data is a terrific timesaving feature, but you can??™t rely on it totally for testing
your Web application. You still need to preview the page in various browsers to
ensure cross-browser compatibility. The final section of this chapter is dedicated
to Dreamweaver??™s Preview in Browser feature and its relationship to your testing
server.
