When you finish designing the pages, you’re ready to preview your work in a
browser. See the “Testing Your Master and Detail Pages” section, later in this
chapter, for details.
For ASP.NET (which is a different server technology than ASP), you need
to build the master and detail pages separately (as described in the
“Developing Master and Detail Pages for ASP.NET” section, later in this chap-
ter). 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 also create them block by block to have complete con-
trol 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.
