You can see the data of the
current recordset by selecting View ??? Live Data. Adjust the width of the text field to accommodate your
dynamic data??”and all the other standard parameters of a text field??”through the Property inspector.
If Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is an option on your Web application, it??™s often far better to
create a custom class for the text field to control the width. Not only is the measurement standard
more precise in CSS than in standard HTML, but it can be updated for all applicable text fields in one
operation rather than in a tag-by-tag fashion.
After you become familiar with Dreamweaver??™s workings, you can use the Bindings panel to skip most of the
previous steps. To use the Bindings panel, follow these steps:
1. Insert a text field into a form on a page with a recordset or other data source.
2. Select the text field.
3. Open the Bindings panel and select the dynamic data to bind to your text field.
4. Click Bind at the bottom of the Bindings panel.
Checkboxes
When you attach a checkbox to dynamic data, the checked and unchecked state reflects the true or false
state of a Yes/No (also known as a Boolean) type of database field. Not only is this visual method easily
understood at a glance, but checkboxes are extremely easy to update.
