Chapter 648
Before you begin
If you completed the chapter, “Developing a Web Application in Dreamweaver MX,” in the
Getting Started with Dreamweaver MX section of this guide, the files you need to complete this
tutorial are already located in your local site and your remote site.
If you did not complete the lesson, you will need to transfer the Sample files to your local drive
and to your application server. See the appropriate setup chapter for your web application server
for direction on how to set up the files.
For more information, see “Setup for Sample ColdFusion Site,” “Setup for Sample ASP Site,” or
“Setup for sample JSP Site” in Dreamweaver Help (Help > Using Dreamweaver)
You must have completed the following tasks prior to starting this tutorial:
• Configured your system.
• Configured Dreamweaver to work with your chosen application server.
• Defined a connection to the database.
Create a master-detail page set
A good starting point for developing a database application is to display a list of the records stored
in a database. The master-detail page set you develop will list the company’s car rental locations,
as well as detailed information about each location, such as the telephone number and address.
All of the information about Global’s locations is stored in a Microsoft Access database file,
global.mdb. If you followed the instructions in the appropriate Setup chapter in this guide, you
should already have a connection to this database. The web application pages will not update
without a connection to this database.
Let’s start by selecting a page to work in.
1 Do one of the following to open the Site panel:
• In the Files panel group, click the expander arrow, then select the Site tab if it is not
already selected.
• Choose Window > Site.
