If container parameter (Jquery object of the DOM element) is specified the edit form html template is inserted in the container.

If container parameter is not specified but Modeless form attribute is set in the Edit Form Dialog or modeless attribute of the edit_options is set programmatically and task has the forms_in_tabs attribute set and the application doesn’t have modal forms, the modeless edit form will be created in the new tab of the forms_container object of the task.
