Access HTML Pages from Forte Applications

We are currently looking at how to redevelop our online help facility for a
Forte application. We are investigating the use of HTML pages.
Has anyone written a Forte application that opens particular HTML pages? If so,
how was it done?

We have created the idea of an OnLineAssistant that uses HTML pages to drive
help in a Wizard-like fashion.
We use an embedded ActiveX browser control in a Forte window to display the
HTML pages. The pages are launched by passing the application, window, and
widget name to the OnLineAssistant window, which uses the information to load
the correct page.
For example: an application screen for entering customer name and address
passes it's information to the on-line assistant, which links and displays the
page associated with that particular step of a task wizard defined for that
widget. The ActiveX control then allows the user to link into any of the
other pages associated through standard HTML.
This context-sensitive mechanism is also used to launch on-line help (without
the task orientation) at the user's request.
One of the benefits of this approach is that we can put the message passing
into a generic framework ancestor without making any application code changes,
and the OnLineAssistant HTML pages can then be created by non-programmers and
deployed independently from the application, and HTML can do most of the
navigation work.

I hope this works.

Creating a HTML page from the J2ME application

Hi,
I am developingan application in J2ME. Can anyone of you out there, help me whether there is any way I can generate a HTML page from the application.
I have the data but I don't know ho to create a HTML page from a J2ME application.
Any document or any code will prove handy.
Thanking in anticipation.
Ashish

When you say that "you have the data" you mean that you have HTML code data(<html><body>Hello World</body></html>)? If yes you should create an algorithm that "read" html tag and display text in the appropriate layout/font/size/color...
A solution could be simplify your HTML code (server side), so you can easly "decode" and display text.

Loading web pages from an application

Hi All
I've tried hunting on this web site for info about how to show an html page from an application. Unfortunatley I couldnt find anything.

I can get a URL pointing to a file on my system ie File:c:/MyDoc/Help.htm, but am unsure what I need to do next.
Any advice welcome.

From an applet? - I assume this is a java web app ...
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.net.*;
public class URLCheckBox extends java.applet.Applet implements ItemListener {
   Choice chqbx = new Choice();
   Label lblOutput, lblfalse;
   URL url;
   public void init() {
       this.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
               chqbx.addItem("URL link to ..."); // add URL names here eg: www.yahoo.com/
       chqbx.addItemListener(this);
       setFont(new Font("Arial", 0, 18));
       setForeground(new java.awt.Color(255,255,55));
       setBackground(new java.awt.Color(95,100,215));
       lblOutput = new Label("Link to other web pages: ");
       add   (lblOutput);
       add(chqbx_MMedia);
       chqbx_MMedia.setForeground(new java.awt.Color(210,210,255));
       chqbx_MMedia.setBackground(new java.awt.Color(50,50,95));
   public void paint(Graphics g) { // this just makes it look pretty!
      g.drawRect(2,2,216,196);
      g.setColor(Color.white);
      g.drawRect(4,4,212,192);
      g.setColor(Color.blue);

      g.drawRect(8,8,204,184);
      g.setColor(Color.gray);
      g.drawRect(10,10,200,180);
   public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent e) {
       String URLstr = "http://";
       String selection;
       selection = (String)chqbx.getSelectedItem();
       String urlText = URLstr + selection";
          try {
             url = new URL(urlText);

Open HTML page from the stage

How can I open a HTML page by pressing a button on the stage?
I've created a rollover button and I'm trying to make it open
an existing html page from the local disk (not an internet URL).
But I can't make it open with Lingo or behaviour.
Please help.
Thanks a lot.
Gideon.

goToNetPage "
http://somewhere.html" is the
typical form for a page on
the web, director must use the address format the system's
browser uses
for local files, this is somewhat platform dependant, a
practical
aproach is to open the file in question from within your
browser then
copy and paste the displayed address into your lingo code.
Some report the goToNetPage counterpart provided by the
buddyAPI xtra
works more reliably, the xtra can be used for free if limited
to a
couple of functions.
An alternate approach buddyAPI can use is to have the browser
directly
access the html file as if it were double clicked in the file
manager
using the same form commonly used to open PDF files with
acrobat.
(sorry I don't have example code handy)

Template error while copying page from another application

I am copying a page from one application to another within the same workspace. The page I am copying has several customized template that it uses. When I copy the page to the other application all goes well until I get to the step of assigning the Templates. Instead of seeing the list of templates used and being able to change them for the new page to match with the page i am copying, i get an error in the Templates area that says:
report error:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
Anyone else run into this? Is this because of the number of templates? I have added several new customized templates. The pages all work ok, its just when i am trying to copy a page from one application to another.
Thanks,
John

I'm seeing this behavior as well, but in the Authorization Schemes & LOV sections of the copy. I can continue with the page copy, but the LOV & Scheme information is lost and needs to be manually re-entered. Would love to get a fix for this!

Export and Import a page from one application to another within same WKSPCE

Hello,
Can anyone help me out in moving a page from one application to another within the space workspace. I tried to export it and then import the page, but I am not able to do that. I think the problem is with the application IDs.
Plz help me out with this issue.
Thanks,
Orton

Hi Orton,
moving a page from one application to another within the space workspace
This U can get it, through copying the page from one application to another application within the same workspace
In the top of the page, you have "copy" option.

Page row 3
     |Caption 1 |Caption 2 |
     | Row 1 value 1|Row 1 value 1|
     | Row 2 value 1|Row 2 value 1|
There can be many levels but always table item is leaf,
Thanks in advance,

Hi
You are probably better posting in the flash forum, as without seeing the code, (and if it is not standard flash html publish) they can probably better advise on a solution.

Referencing static html pages from jsps...

          Hi,
          This is probably a very simple thing to solve, but I'm having problems with referencing
          html pages from jsps under Weblogic.
          I get Error 404 - not found, whenever I try something like this in a JSP...
          <frame name="title" src="title.html" scrolling=no>
          The title.html file has definitely been copied into my ear file, and yet it isn't
          found. I can solve the problem by turning title.html into a jsp and registering
          it in web.xml. But this seems like serious overkill with static content!!
          Am I missing something really simple here?


          I've worked it out - directory mistake...
          Thanks,
          Chris
