generator generates all necessary components.

Usage

If any of the Export.XHTML properties have been set, the string
that is generated reflects the values of these properties.

The resulting XHTML string contains a <form> element that
supports data input, which works with separate client scripts for data
validation and events.

This JavaScript is either dynamically generated and/or statically
deployed. To generate static JavaScript, select HTML/XHTML from the
Format to Configure drop-down list on the JavaScript Generation page in
the DataWindow painter Properties view, specify names for the files you
want to generate, and click the Generate File button.

The generated XHTML string also includes:

JavaScript for navigation passes the state of the DataWindow back
to the page server in two variables: objectname_action and
objectname_context. It also passes back any page parameters defined in
the HTMLGen.SelfLinkArgs property. All applicable HTMLGen.property
values also affect the way the XHTML is generated.

The resulting XML Web DataWindow is a client-side control for a
Web page, such as a JSP page, with events and methods that can cooperate
with a server component for a Web-based data entry application.

Examples

The following statements set the template used by the DataWindow
dw1 to t_report and return the generated XSLT transformation to the
string ls_transform. To generate the string, the final statement invokes
the XML Web DataWindow generator to generate the XML, XSLT, CSS, and
JavaScript components, applying the t_report template to the generated
XSLT and CSS style sheet.
