When you finish designing the pages, you’re ready to preview your work in a
browser. See the section “Testing Your Master and Detail Pages,” later in this
chapter for details.
For ASP.NET, you need to build the master and detail pages separately (as
described in the section “Developing Master and Detail Pages for ASP.NET,”
later in this chapter). You can’t build these pages at the same time in one
operation for ASP.NET.
Developing Master and Detail Pages Block by Block
You can develop a master page block by block for PHP, ASP, JSP, and
ColdFusion. Although you usually create the master and detail pages at the
same time, you can create them block by block to have complete control
over the placement of the blocks.
Creating the master page
To create a dynamic master page, follow these steps:
1. Create a page and define a recordset.
Turn to Book VIII, Chapter 1 to find out how to define a recordset.
