Open a document to work in

A good starting point for developing a database application is to create a page that lists records stored in the database. In the application you're building in this tutorial, you'll create a dynamic web page that lists information drawn from the customer comments table of the database. Later, you'll create another dynamic web page that enables a customer to insert comments or questions directly into the database.

Start by locating the documents you'll work with as you create these pages:

  1. Select Window > Files to open the Files panel (see Figure 3).

  2. In the Site pop-up menu, select the site you defined during the setup tutorial.

    If you followed the naming suggestion in the setup tutorial, the site is called Web app tutorial. For more information, see the setup tutorials listed in Requirements.

    The Files panel of the Site pop-up menu.

    Figure 3. The Files panel of the Site pop-up menu.

  3. In the Files panel, double-click the file named view.php, view.cfm, or view.asp (depending on your setup).

    The document opens in the Document window.

  4. If you are currently viewing the document in Code view, click Show Design View (labeled Design) or Show Code and Design Views (labeled Split) in the Document toolbar.
