Extending Dreamweaver Part VII
Server behaviors are the heart of Dreamweaver, the essential engine that puts
the dynamic in dynamic Web applications. Server behaviors insert servermodel
??“specific code that handles everything from displaying dynamic data
to authenticating users. Even the basic data source connection and the establishment
of a recordset are, in reality, server behaviors. Without server behaviors, no
dynamic capabilities would be possible in Dreamweaver.
Server behaviors are valuable for novices and veteran coders alike. They enable
designers who have never heard of an ASP Request collection to gather information
from a form??”a procedure that utilizes the ASP Request collection??”with
point-and-click ease. Even serious code jockeys can appreciate the productivity
potential of server behaviors, especially the capability to create their own.
