Creates an HTML Form element containing columns for one or more rows in a DataWindow control or DataStore. This method also returns an HTML Style element containing style sheet information.
Obsolete method
GenerateHTMLForm is obsolete and should
not be used. The Web.PB functionality has been replaced by the Web
DataWindow. The Web DataWindow generator component generates HTML
and JavaScript to provide data entry, validation, and other DataWindow
features.
