Create a recordset navigation bar

You can create a recordset navigation bar in a single operation using the Recordset Navigation Bar server behavior. The server object adds the following building blocks to the page:

  • An HTML table with either text or image links

  • A set of Move To server behaviors

  • A set of Show Region server behaviors

    The text version of the Recordset Navigation Bar looks like this:


    The image version of the Recordset Navigation Bar looks like this:


    Before placing the navigation bar on the page, make sure the page contains a recordset to navigate and a page layout in which to display the records.

    After placing the navigation bar on the page, you can use the design tools to customize the bar to your liking. You can also edit the Move To and Show Region server behaviors by double-clicking them in the Server Behaviors panel.

    Dreamweaver creates a table that contains text or image links that allow the user to navigate through the selected recordset when clicked. When the first record in the recordset is displayed, the First and Previous links or images are hidden. When the last record in the recordset is displayed, the Next and Last links or images are hidden.

    You can customize the layout of the navigation bar by using the design tools and the Server Behaviors panel.

  1. In Design view, place the insertion point at the location on the page where you want the navigation bar to appear.
  2. Display the Recordset Navigation Bar dialog box (Insert > Data Objects > Recordset Paging > Recordset Navigation Bar).
  3. Select the recordset you want to navigate from the Recordset pop‑up menu.
  4. From the Display Using section, select the format to display the navigation links on the page, and click OK.
    Text
    Places text links on the page.

    Images
    Includes graphical images as links. Dreamweaver uses its own image files. You can replace these images with image files of your own after placing the bar on the page.
