Before adding a Go To Related Page server behavior to a page, make sure the page receives form or URL parameters
from another page. The job of the server behavior is to pass these parameters to a third page. For example, you can pass
search parameters received by a results page to another page and save the user from entering the search parameters
again.
Also, you can select text or an image on the page to serve as the link to the related page, or you can position your pointer
on the page without selecting anything, and the link text is inserted.
1 In the Go To Related Page box, click Browse and locate the related page file.
If the current page submits data to itself, enter the current pages file name.
2 If the parameters you want to pass were received directly from an HTML form using the GET method, or are listed
in the pages URL, select the URL Parameters option.
3 If the parameters you want to pass were received directly from an HTML form using the POST method, select the
Form Parameters option.
4 Click OK.
When the new link is clicked, the page passes the parameters to the related page using a query string.

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.
