Inserting dynamic images

Inserting dynamic images is different from inserting static images. When you insert a static image, you choose a specific file and add it to the page. When you insert a dynamic image, you select a data source that provides a path to a specific image.

To insert a dynamic image:

1 Make sure you have created a recordset. The recordset must include the column that contains the paths to your images.
2 Place the insertion point where you want the image to appear on the page, then choose Insert > image.
The Select Image Source dialog box appears.
3 Click the Data Sources option (Windows) or the Data Source button (Macintosh).
A list of data sources appears.
4 Select the data source (table column) that contains the paths to your image files. In this example the PHOTO column contains the image paths.
5 Click OK.
An image placeholder appears on the page. The placeholder is a small icon with a tree inside it.
Your page will now display a dynamic image along with dynamic text when viewed in a browser. If the dynamic image does not appear on the page as you expect, check the image paths in your database table.
