Deploying PowerBuilder Applications on the Web

Having learned the basics of HTML tags in the previous sessions, you will now learn to deploy PowerBuilder applications on the web in the coming pages. In PowerBuilder 4.0, there was no concept of integrating PowerBuilder applications with the web. However, 5.0 made few advances in this area by adding the capability of saving a DataWindow in the HTML table format. Later, Web.PB was introduced with a DataWindow Plug-in to deploy DataWindows as read-only Powersoft reports, and a window Plug-in to deploy child windows on the net. By the time PowerBuilder 6.0 was released, all web browsers started supporting style sheets and cascading style sheets. PowerBuilder 6.0 was released with the support for these style sheets, and the ability to generate forms for DataWindows, ActiveX Plug-ins, and to invoke HTML page from within the PowerBuilder application. In the coming sections, you will be learning them in the same order.
