The detail page is created when the Master-Detail Page Set Object is executed. As shown in Figure 23-6, the
detail page is blank except for a two-column table, which contains a row for each field. The first column
displays all the field names in the designated order, and the second column holds Dynamic Text elements,
one for each of the fields.
FIGURE 23-6
Only the fields, data, and necessary server behaviors are included in the newly created detail page.

Crafting Multiple-Page Applications 23
To create a Web application using the Master-Detail Page Set application object, follow these steps:
1. Be sure that the current page, which will become the master page, includes the desired recordset
and has been saved. The recordset must contain all the fields you want to display on the detail
page, as well as the fields for the master page.
When creating master-detail pages, I generally create my initial recordset and choose all
records. After I??™ve created my page set, I trim down the recordset on the master page by
selecting only those fields necessary for the master page.
2. Place your cursor where you??™d like the table, Recordset Navigation Bar, and Recordset Navigation
Status element to appear.
3. Choose Insert ??? Application Object ??? Master-Detail Page Set.
