Creating a dynamic web site in Dreamweaver following a David Powers tutorial at Building your first dynamic website – Part 2: Developing the back end | Adobe Developer Connection One stage is to create edit and delete links. I select EDIT from the page that lists all records in the database (manage_posts.php in tutorial, update_benefactions_record.php in my database) Select URL from Select File box, click on Parameters from File box, enter the primary key of the records in the Name box. Click on Value lightning bolt. Dreamweaver totally locks up. Need to use Task Manager to close it down and regain control. What it should do is insert a line in the page's code - <td><a href="update_benefactions_record.php?be_index=<?php echo $row_rsBenefactions[`be_index`];?>">EDIT</a></td> (rsBenefactions is the name of the relevant recordset) Since trying to insert this code via the DW facility locks everything up, I tried entering the line by hand. According to the tutorial what this should do is select the appropriate record from the record listing table and show the entire record in the updating page. i.e If I select say the 3rd record, using Live view I should see the code <td><a href="update_benefactions_record.php?be_index=3">EDIT</a><</td> Unfortunately I don't, so I am completely stalled. As you will have gathered I am a newby to MySQLi and PHP so am dependent on following these tutorials (modifying them to my needs - a data management site for the local church).
