About building record insert pages
Your application can contain a page that lets users insert new records in a database.
An insert page consists of two building blocks:
• An HTML form that lets users enter data
• An Insert Record server behavior that updates the database
When a user clicks Submit on a form, the server behavior inserts records in a database table.
You can add these building blocks in a single operation using the Record Insertion Form data object or you can add
them separately using the Dreamweaver form tools and the Server Behaviors panel.
Note: The insert page can contain only one record-editing server behavior at a time. For example, you cannot add an
Update Record or a Delete Record server behavior to the insert page.
