In Dreamweaver, you can define a variety of sources of dynamic content, including recordsets extracted from databases, form parameters, and

JavaBeans components. To add the dynamic content to a page, simply drag it onto the page.

You can set your page to display one record or many records at a time, display more than one page of records, add special links to move from

one page of records to the next (and back), and create record counters to help users keep track of the records. You can encapsulate application or

business logic using technologies such as Adobe ColdFusion and web services. If you need more flexibility, you can create custom server

behaviors and interactive forms. (See Making pages dynamic.)

Test and publish

Testing your pages is an ongoing process that happens throughout the development cycle. At the end of the cycle, you publish the site on a

server. Many developers also schedule periodic maintenance to ensure that the site remains current and functional. (See Getting and putting files

to and from your server.)
