Best PracticesCreating Master/Detail Page Sets More QuicklyIn this chapter, you learned how to create two separate pages that display dynamic data. The first displayed a list of products for sale and the second displayed product details based on information passed to the page through the querystring. You walked through the process so you could learn the details of creating each one individually and better understand how each piece works. Fortunately, creating these types of related pages doesn't have to be this long of a process. Dreamweaver has a built-in application object called a Master Detail Page Set that creates the basics of both pages for you. To use this tool, create a new dynamic page and create a recordset that draws the appropriate records for the master page. Next, choose Insert, Application Objects, Master Detail Page Set from the menu bar. The dialog box for the application object walks you through the process and actually creates both pages for you. |
