The
Dynamic Text Field server behavior is often used for applications that update records and may be applied to
either a text field or text area form element. According to the server model used, the data in the text field
can be formatted server-side in a number of ways, such as upper- or lowercase.

Handling Server Behaviors 34
Requirements: A text field or text area form element and a recordset.
To link a text field or text area to dynamic data, follow these steps:
1. Insert a text field into a form on a page with a recordset or other data source. It??™s a good idea to
name the text field and form at this point. Although you can always change the names later, naming
the elements early on avoids problems later.
2. Select the text field.
3. From the Server Behaviors panel, choose Dynamic Form Elements ??? Dynamic Text Field.
Be sure to choose Dynamic Text Field and not Dynamic Text from the Dynamic Elements submenu.
If you select Dynamic Text while your text field is highlighted, the form element is
replaced.
4. In the Dynamic Text Field dialog box that appears (see Figure 34-19), verify that the correct form
element was chosen in the Text Field list. If necessary, choose a different text field.
