Client-side development is becoming more and more popular, as a client-side developer who is responsible for the markup, you want to have full control over your templates. Although some applications might work well by letting the server generate all the HTML necessary, many applications can be enhanced by integrating client-side data binding that dynamically converts JSON data returned from the server into HTML. In this article we'll show you the huge difference between Dreamweaver Server Behaviors and the technologies that DMXzone Data Connector PHP/ASP and DMXzone Security Provider PHP/ASP use.

Replace Server Behaviors with DMXzone Database Connector and Bindings
Database Connection vs. DMxzone Database connection
- Deprecated: Dreamweaver Server Behaviors - For PHP development, Dreamweaver only supports the MySQL database system and MS Access, MS SQL Server and Oracle for ASP. Note: The code, generated from the server behaviors uses MySQL API, which is deprecated as of PHP 5.5.0, and will be removed in the future.
- New: DMXzone Database Connector - For PHP developments, DMXzone Database Connector supports MySQL, PostrgeSQL, SQLite, SQL Server and SQL Server Native, and Access, Access ODBC, MySQL ODBC, ODBC File DSN, ODBC System DSN, SQL Server, SQL Server Express for ASP. You can also choose a custom database type form both PHP and ASP.
Note: In order to connect a custom developed database you can always enter your custom connection string, which follows the syntax for PDO, if you're using PHP, or ADO if you're using ASP.
Recordset vs. DMXzone Database source
- Deprecated: Dreamweaver Server Behaviors - You can create a recordset without manually entering SQL statements.
- New: DMXzone Database Connector - The built-in connection wizard allows you to connect to your database easily and get your data the Ajax way. It comes with full support for wide range of well-known databases and uses specific adapters for each type database so that it can use the native power of the database without bothering you with weird SQL syntax!
Repeat region vs. HTML5 Data Bindings Repeat region/Repeat Children
- Deprecated: Dreamweaver Server Behaviors - Repeating regions enable you to control your page layout by repeating certain items, such as a catalog item and description layout, or a row for data such as a list of items.
- New: DMXzone Database Connector - In order to repeat any HTML element on your page you can use repeat region and also to repeat the children of any parent-child structure (for example ul>li) you can apply the repeat children option to the parent.
