The creation of the connection to the database is the first
step for the implementation of ASP pages. A lot of
behaviours exit and allow developers to create on the fly
dynamic pages (cf. Figure 16). The prototype includes these
pages in the demonstration section.
The figure 16 presents different elements in the “users” and
the “groups” tables. The information is recorded in two
Recordsets called Update and Groups. The children
elements are the fields of each table. By dragging and
dropping these elements, the page will display dynamic
elements.
At the bottom of figure 16, there is a Request element which
is used to receive data from the previous page. The Session
object is very important as well, because it keeps some
information about the user during all the navigation. This
functionality is very useful because it allows the server to
have a continuous reference to the user, for instance when
he/she will enter a personal page as the calendar or the
profile page.

The creation of dynamic elements is one of the main part of the implementation to create a
automated tool. Behaviours registered in Macromedia Dreamweaver UltraDev 4® are great
