Binding form fields to database fields

The first step in creating a Web-based front end is to design the interface. Normally, this involves designing an HTML form that displays records, fields within a record, and options for submitting changes, adding records, and deleting records. You then bind the form fields to dynamic content fields in the content source. When the page is previewed or viewed online, dynamic content replaces the placeholder form fields to display the contents of a database record.

To bind a form field to a dynamic content field in a content source:

1 Select the form field.

2 Click the box next to the dynamic content field you want to appear in the form field.

You'll also generally need to add navigation links so that the user can easily go from one record to the next.
