CREATING A SPRY DATA SET
A Spry data set is a
JavaScript that acts as
a virtual holding
container for data that
loads from another,
separate source
document, which can
be a page in the
current site or another
XML or HTML file.
Dreamweaver
provides a wizard to
walk you through this
process of setting up
Spry data sets.
When you create a
Spry data set, first,
you specify the source
document and the
container from which
the data will be
collected. Second, you
determine the column
by which the data will
be sorted and the
order in which the
data will be sorted.
Finally, you specify the
layout and interactive
functionality of the
data in the Web page.
