Creating navigation buttons

The GoLive Dynamic Content module makes it easy to insert navigation buttons created with text or with button images that let you navigate through the records in a database on which your content source is based. Record navigation is based on following HTML links. Thus record navigation can be associated with simple text links and image links. The link actions available in the Dynamic Bindings palette include: Show First Record, Show Last Record, Show Previous Record, Show Next Record, Show Details of Current Record, and Show Details of Empty Record.

Note: GoLive automatically disables the Next or Previous buttons as appropriate on the live page if there is no next or previous record in the content source.
