ou can use Dreamweaver to build master and detail Web pages, which
are a popular way to display information on your Web site. A master

page displays a list of records and corresponding links for each record. A
user can click a link to see further information about a record on its associ-
ated detail page.

Depending on your programming language, you can either build the set of
master and detail pages all in one operation, or you can separately build the
master pages and then the detail pages. You can find out more about both
methods in this chapter.

The examples in this chapter use a simple Employee table, which you can
see in Table 1-1. The first value, the 

employee_id

, is a special field called a

key. It always has a unique value. Therefore, if you query for a record in a
table by using the key, you always get only the row that you’re looking for
because no two rows have the same key.
