Availability
Dreamweaver MX.
Description
Obtains the URL parameters that are specified as Live Data settings.
Live Data mode lets you view a web page in the design stage (as if it has been translated by the
application server and returned). Generating dynamic content to display in Design view lets you
view your page layout with live data and adjust it, if necessary.
Before you view live data, you must enter Live Data settings for any URL parameters that you
reference in your document. This prevents the web server from returning errors for parameters
that are otherwise undefined in the simulation.
You enter the URL parameters in name-value pairs. For example, if you reference the URL
variables
ID and Name in server scripts in your document, you must set these URL parameters
before you view live data.
You can enter Live Data settings through Dreamweaver in the following ways:
• Through the Live Data Settings dialog box, which you can activate from the View menu
• In the URL text field that appears at the top of the document when you click the Live Data
View button on the toolbar
For the
ID and Name parameters, you can enter the following pairs:
ID 22
Name Samuel
