Changing 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 .
About dynamic content
You can change the dynamic content on your page by editing the server behavior that provides the content. For
example, you can edit a recordset server behavior to provide more records to your page.
Dynamic content on a page is listed in the Server Behaviors panel. For example, if you add a recordset to your page, the
Server Behaviors panel lists it as follows:
Recordset(myRecordset)
If you add another recordset to your page, the Server Behaviors panel lists both recordsets as follows:
Recordset(mySecondRecordset)Recordset(myRecordset)
Edit dynamic content
1 Open the Server Behaviors panel (Window > Server Behaviors).
2 Click the Plus (+) button to display the server behaviors, and double-click the server behavior in the panel.
The dialog box that you used to define the original data source appears.
3 Make your changes in the dialog box, and click OK.
Delete dynamic content
❖ After adding dynamic content to a page, delete it in one the following ways:
• Select the dynamic content on the page, and press Delete.
• Select the dynamic content in the Server Behaviors panel, and click the Minus (-) button.
Note: This operation removes the server-side script in the page that retrieves the dynamic content from the database. It
does not delete the data in the database.
Test dynamic content
You can preview and edit dynamic content using Live view.
While dynamic content is displayed, you can perform the following tasks:
• Adjust the page’s layout using the page-design tools
• Add, edit, or delete dynamic content
• Add, edit, or delete server behaviors
1 Click the Live view button to display dynamic content.
2 Make the necessary changes to the page. You’ll need to toggle between Live view and Design or Code view to make
changes and see how they take effect.
