Define form parameters
Form parameters store retrieved information that is included in the HTTP request for a web page. If you create a form that uses the POST method,
the data submitted by the form is passed to the server. Before you begin, make sure you pass a form parameter to the server. After you define the
form parameter as a content source, you can use its value in your page.

Define session variables
You can use session variables to store and display information maintained for the duration of a user’s visit (or session). The server creates a
different session object for each user and maintains it for a set period of time or until the object is explicitly terminated.
Before defining session variables for a page, you must create them in the source code. After you create a session variable in the web application’s
source code, you can use Dreamweaver to retrieve its value and use it in a web page.
1. Create a session variable in the source code, and assign a value to it.
