The Header section can contain the items listed in the following
table. Only the root XHTML <form> element is required:

Detail section in root element
The root element displays in the Header section, but the entire
content of the Detail section is contained in the root element.
The items in the Header section are generated only once at runtime
(when the DataWindow is exported to XHTML), unless the DataWindow is a
Group DataWindow. For Group DataWindows, the corresponding XHTML
fragment in the Header section is repeated so that it iteratively heads
each group detail—the group of XHTML rows corresponding to the group
specified in the DataWindow.
The Header section contains the rendering of the DataWindow header
band and any group header bands. Bands are generated within <div>
elements. The controls rendered in the Header section (such as computed
titles and text control column headings) are typically also generated
within <div> elements, with referenced content.
These entities are generated only once and are not iterated for
each row. However, for DataWindows with group headers, the corresponding
XHTML fragment in the Header section is repeated, iteratively heading
each group of XHTML rows corresponding to the group specified in the
DataWindow.
