The page you create the navigation bar for must contain a recordset to navigate. A simple recordset navigation bar
might look like this, with link buttons created out of images, or other content elements:
After you have added a recordset to a page, and have created a navigation bar, you must apply individual server
behaviors to each navigation element. For example, a typical recordset navigation bar contains representations of the
following links matched to the appropriate behavior:

Display and hide regions based on recordset results
You can also specify that a region be displayed or hidden based on whether the recordset is empty. If a recordset is
empty (for example, no records were found matching the query), you can display a message informing the user that
no records were returned. This is especially useful when creating search pages that rely on user input search terms
to run queries against. Similarly, you can display an error message if there is a problem connecting to a database, or
if a user’s user name and password do not match those recognized by the server.
The Show Region server behaviors are:
•
Show If Recordset Is Empty
•
Show If Recordset Is Not Empty
•
Show If First Page
•
Show If Not First Page
•
Show If Last Page
•
Show If Not Last Page
