Dynamic sites, pages and web forms
ASP server variables
You can define the following ASP server variables as sources of dynamic content: Request.Cookie,
Request.QueryString, Request.Form, Request.ServerVariables, and Request.ClientCertificates.
ColdFusion server variables
You can define the following ColdFusion server variables:
Client variables Associate data with a specific client. Client variables maintain the application’s state as the user moves
from page to page in the application, as well as from session to session. “Maintaining state” means to preserve
information from one page (or session) to the next so that the application remembers the user, and the user’s previous
choices and preferences.
Cookie variables Access cookies passed to the server by the browser.
CGI variables Provide information about the server running ColdFusion, the browser requesting a page, and other
information about the processing environment.
Server variables Can be accessed by all clients and applications on the server. They persist until the server is stopped.
Local variables Created with the CFSET tag or CFPARAM tag within a ColdFusion page.

Defining sources of dynamic content
Note: The user interface has been simplified in Dreamweaver CC and later. As a result, you may not find some of the
options described in this article in Dreamweaver CC and later. For more information, see
this article .
Define a recordset without writing SQL
You can create a recordset without manually entering SQL statements.
1 In the Document window, open the page that will use the recordset.
2 Select Windows > Bindings to display the Bindings panel.
3 In the Bindings panel, click the Plus (+) button and select Recordset (Query) from the pop-up menu.
The simple Recordset dialog box appears. If you are developing a ColdFusion site, the Recordset dialog box is
slightly different. (If the advanced Recordset dialog appears instead, click the Simple button to switch to the simple
Recordset dialog box.)
