About dynamic content sources

A dynamic content source is a store of information from which you can retrieve and display dynamic content for use in a web page. Sources of dynamic content include not only information stored in a database, but values submitted by HTML forms, values contained in server objects, values of JavaBeans properties, and other content sources.

Any content source you define in Dreamweaver is added to the list of content sources in the Bindings panel. After you create a content source and include it in the Bindings panel, you can easily insert it into the currently selected page.
