Display dynamic content in HTML text fields

You can display dynamic content in HTML text fields when the form is viewed in a browser.

Note: For ASP.NET pages, you must use the ASP.NET TextBox control.

Before you begin, you must create the form in a ColdFusion, PHP, ASP, or JSP page, and you must define a recordset or other source of dynamic content for the text field.

  1. Select the text field in the HTML form on your page.
  2. In the Property inspector, click the lightning bolt icon beside the Init Val box to display the Dynamic Data dialog box.
  3. Select the recordset column that will supply a value to the text field, and then click OK.
