7. Specify how each data-entry field should be displayed on the HTML form by clicking a row in the Form Fields table and entering the

following information in the boxes below the table:

In the Label box, enter a descriptive label to display beside the data-entry field. By default, Dreamweaver displays the table column’s
name in the label.

In the Display As pop-up menu, select a form object to serve as the data-entry field. You can select Text Field, Text Area, Menu,
Checkbox, Radio Group, and Text. For read-only entries, select Text. You can also select Password Field, File Field, and Hidden Field.

Note: Hidden fields are inserted at the end of the form.

In the Submit As pop-up menu, select the data format accepted by your database table. For example, if the table column only accepts
numeric data, select Numeric.

Set the form object’s properties. You have different options depending on the form object you select as your data-entry field. For text
fields, text areas, and text, you can enter an initial value. For menus and radio groups, you open another dialog box to set the properties.
For options, select the Checked or Unchecked option.

8. Click OK.

Dreamweaver adds both an HTML form and an Insert Record server behavior to your page. The form objects are laid out in a basic table,
which you can customize using the Dreamweaver page design tools. (Make sure all the form objects remain within the form’s boundaries.)

To edit the server behavior, open the Server Behaviors panel (Window > Server Behaviors) and double-click the Insert Record behavior.
