exact order indicated above (odd, even, hover, select). If the hover rule appears below the select rule in the style sheet, the
hover effect won’t appear until the user mouses over a different row. If the hover and select rules appear above the even and
odd rules in the style sheet, the even and odd effects will not work at all. You can drag rules in the CSS panel to order them
correctly, or you can manipulate the CSS code directly.
4. If the table you are creating is going to become a dynamic Spry master table, select Update Detail Region When Row Is
Clicked. For more information, see About dynamic Spry master tables and updating detail regions.
5. Click OK to close the dialog box and then click Done in the Choose Insert Options screen.
If you’re in Design view you’ll see the table appear with a row of headers and a row of data references. The data references
are highlighted and enclosed in curly brackets ({}).
Master/Detail layout
Select this option if you want to display your data using a master/detail layout. Master/detail layouts let users click an item in the master (left)
region that updates the information in the detail (right) region. Typically the master region contains a long list of names, for example a list of
available products. When the user clicks one of the product names, the detail region displays much more detailed information about the selection.
Once you’ve selected this option, click the Set Up button to open the Insert Master/Detail Layout dialog box and follow these steps:
1. In the Master Columns panel, adjust the content of your master region by doing the following:
Select a column name and click the minus (-) sign to delete the column from the master region. Click the plus (+) sign and
select a column name to add new columns to the master region. By default Dreamweaver populates the master region
with data from the first column in the data set.
Select a column name and click the up or down arrows to move the column. Moving a column up or down in the Master
Columns panel sets the order of the data’s appearance in the master region on the page.
2. Repeat the above steps for the Detail Columns panel. By default Dreamweaver populates the detail region with all of the data
that is not in the master region (that is, all columns except for the first column in the data set).
3. (Optional) Set different container types for data in the detail region. To do so, select the name of a detail column, and select
the container you want to use for it from the Container Type pop-up menu. You can choose from DIV, P, SPAN, or H1-H6
tags.
4. Click OK to close the dialog box and then click Done in the Choose Insert Options screen.
If you’re in Design view you’ll see the master/detail regions appear, populated with your selected data references. The data
references are highlighted and enclosed in curly brackets ({}).
Stacked Containers layout
Select this option if you want to display your data using a repeating container structure on the page. For example, if you have four columns of data
in the data set, each container can include all four columns, and the container structure will repeat itself for each row in the data set.
Once you’ve selected this option, click the Set Up button to open the Insert Stacked Containers dialog box and follow these steps:
1. In the Columns panel, adjust the content of your stacked containers by doing the following:
Select a column name and click the minus (-) sign to delete the column from the stacked containers. Click the plus (+)
sign and select a column name to add new columns to the containers. By default Dreamweaver populates the stacked
containers with data from every column in the data set.
Select a column name and click the up or down arrows to move the column. Moving a column up or down in the Columns
panel sets the order of the data’s appearance in the stacked containers on the page.
2. (Optional) Set different container types for data in the stacked container. To do so, select the name of a data set column, and
select the container you want to use for it from the Container Type pop-up menu. You can choose from DIV, P, SPAN, or H1-
H6 tags.
3. Click OK to close the dialog box and then click Done in the Choose Insert Options screen.
If you’re in Design view you’ll see the container, populated with your selected data references. The data references are
highlighted and enclosed in curly brackets ({}).
Stacked Containers with Spotlight Area layout
Select this option if you want to display your data using a repeating container structure on the page with a spotlight area in each container.
Typically, the spotlight area contains a picture. The Spotlight Area layout is similar to the Stacked Containers layout, the difference being that in
the Spotlight Area layout, the data display is divided into two separate columns (within the same container).
Once you’ve selected this option, click the Set Up button to open the Insert Spoltlight Area Layout dialog box and follow these steps:
1. In the Spotlight Columns panel, adjust the content of your spotlight area by doing the following:
Select a column name and click the minus (-) sign to delete the column from the spotlight area. Click the plus (+) sign and
