Positioning a code block

When you create code blocks using the Server Behavior Builder, you must specify where to insert them in the page’s

HTML code.

For example, if you insert a code block above the opening <html> tag, you must then specify the code block’s position

relative to other tags, scripts, and server behaviors in that section of the page’s HTML code. Typical examples include

positioning a behavior either before or after any recordset queries that might also exist in the page code above the

opening

<html> tag.

When you select a positioning option from the Insert Code pop-up menu, the options available in the Relative Position

pop-up menu change to provide relevant options for that part of the page. For example, if you select Above The

<html>

Tag In The Insert Code pop-up menu, the positioning options available in the Relative Position pop-up menu reflect

choices relevant for that part of the page.

The following table shows the code block insert options, and the relative positioning options available for each:

To specify a custom position, you must assign a weight to the code block. Use the Custom Position option when you

need to insert more than one code block in a particular order. For example, to insert an ordered series of three code

blocks after the code blocks that open recordsets, you would enter a weight of 60 for the first block, 65 for the second,

and 70 for the third.

By default, Dreamweaver assigns a weight of 50 to all recordset-opening code blocks inserted above the <html> tag. If

the weight of two or more blocks match, Dreamweaver randomly sets the order among the blocks.
