• Assign individual server behaviors to each navigation link
This section describes how to assign individual server behaviors to the navigation links.
Create and assign server behaviors to a navigation link
1 In Design view, select the text string or image on the page you want to use as a record navigation link.
2 Open the Server Behaviors panel (Window > Server Behaviors), and click the Plus (+) button.
3 Select Recordset Paging from the pop-up menu; then select a server behavior appropriate to that link from the listed
server behaviors.
If the recordset contains a large number of records, the Move To Last Record server behavior can take a long time
to run when the user clicks the link.
4 In the Recordset pop-up menu, select the recordset that contains the records, and click OK.
The server behavior is assigned to the navigation link.
Set the Move To (server behavior) dialog box options
Add links that let the user navigate through records in a recordset.
1 If you didn’t select anything on the page, select a link from the pop-up menu.
2 Select the recordset that contains the records to page through, and click OK.
Note: If the recordset contains a large number of records, the Move To Last Record server behavior can take a long time
to run when the user clicks the link.
Navigation bar design tasks
When creating a custom navigation bar, begin by creating its visual representation using the Dreamweaver page-design
tools. You don’t have to create a link for the text string or image, Dreamweaver creates one for you.
The page you create the navigation bar for must contain a recordset to navigate. A simple recordset navigation bar
might look like this, with link buttons created out of images, or other content elements:
After you have added a recordset to a page, and have created a navigation bar, you must apply individual server
behaviors to each navigation element. For example, a typical recordset navigation bar contains representations of the
following links matched to the appropriate behavior:
Navigation link Server behavior
Go to first page Move to first page
Go to previous page Move to previous page
Go to next page Move to next page
Go to last page Move to last page
