Define dynamic content by using a CFC
You can define a recordset as a source of dynamic content in Dreamweaver by using a CFC that contains a recordset
definition.
1.In the Name box, enter a name for the CFC recordset.
A common practice is to add the prefix rs to recordset names to distinguish them from other object names in the code,
for example: rsPressRelease.
Recordset names must contain only alphanumeric characters and underscores (_). You cannot use special characters
or spaces.
2.Select a package from the ones already defined on the server.
