Provide the page with expected parameters

To generate dynamic content, some pages require parameters from the user—for example, a page needs the ID number of a record to find and display that record. Without that data, Dreamweaver cannot generate dynamic content to display in Design view.

If a page expects parameters from the user, you must provide the parameters as follows.

  1. In the Document window, select Live Data Settings from the View menu.
  2. Complete the dialog box and click OK.

    If you specify the GET method in the Live Data Settings dialog box, a text box appears on the Design view toolbar. Use this box to enter different URL parameters; then click the Refresh button (the circle-arrow icon) to see how the parameters affect the page.

    Enter each URL parameter in the following format:

    name=value;

    In this format, name is the URL parameter name expected by your page and value is the value held by that parameter.
