Live Data mode lets you view a web page in the design stage (as if it has been translated by the
application server and returned). Generating dynamic content to display in Design view lets
you view your page layout with live data and adjust it, if necessary.
Before you view live data, you must enter Live Data settings for any URL parameters that you
reference in your document. This prevents the web server from returning errors for
parameters that are otherwise undefined in the simulation.
You enter the URL parameters in name-value pairs. For example, if you reference the URL
