Bar server behavior. The server object adds the following building blocks to the page:

■

A set of “Move to” server behaviors

■

A set of “Show Region” server behaviors

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 Dreamweaver 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.

If you want to build the navigation bar block by block using the Dreamweaver design tools 
and the Server Behaviors panel, see

navigation bar to appear.
