If Live Data is turned off or if youre temporarily disconnected from your application server, you can still work on your dynamic pages in Design view. Dreamweaver uses placeholders to visually represent dynamic content on the page. For example, the placeholder for dynamic text extracted from a database uses the syntax {RecordsetName.ColumnName}
, where Recordset
is the name of the recordset and ColumnName
is the name of the column you chose from the recordset.
Sometimes, the length of the placeholders for dynamic text distorts the pages layout in Design view. You can solve the problem by using empty curly braces as placeholders.
