About HTML DB

Hi
I am a forms/reports developer and just saw HTML DB. I liked it much. But is it such a powerful tool that professional/large applicattions be built using this. How can we compare it with Oracle Forms or Portal.
Thanks
Zulqarnain

"Jay Builder",
I didn't hear first hand what the Oracle Tech Day presenter said regarding HTML DB, but let me try to add some nuance to your quote.
Oracle HTML DB's sweet spot covers applications that:
- are relatively small in scope
- used by multiple users
- need to deployed into production quickly (days or weeks not months)
- can be developed by someone without a computer science degree
- are critical enough for day-to-day business that you want them running in a database you can trust
This doesn't mean however that you cannot build applications that:
- are large in scope
- provide sophisticated functionality
- have a large user population.
Let's say for example you wanted to build an application that:
- managed provisioning of schemas, storage and developer accounts
- provided self service signup and workflow for approval of workspace request
- provided a web interface developers to build web applications with template driven user interface and automatic session state management
- allowed uploading of images and cascading style sheets to be included in the application
- supported thousands of workspaces and thousands of users
- etc.
If this description sounds familiar, that's because I described HTML DB itself. What tool did we use to develop HTML DB? You guessed it: HTML DB. The hosted development environment that thousands of people use on htmldb.oracle.com is a collection of roughly 10 applications with 900 or so pages ALL developed in HTML DB. Hardly a trivial application or "small project," if you ask me. We currently have nearly 5,000 workspaces generating about 60,000 page views daily.
There are other examples of large complex applications that customers have built, but I though I'd highlight an example that most of you were familiar with. Remember that HTML DB "lives" inside the Oracle database and is therefore as enterprise ready as the database itself.

Question about HTML files using TextEdit

First off, I wanted to ask if this is the proper place to post a question about HTML/XHTML. I couldn't really find anywhere else that seemed to fit better, but please point me in the right direction if this is not the place. Thanks.
Moving on -- here's my question:
I'm having trouble with working with HTML files in TextEdit. I'm on a Mac, using TextEdit as my HTML editor (I can not afford one of these other HTML editors, and I like using a simple text editor like TextEdit for HTML). Here's my problem: I open a new rich text document in TextEdit and write my HTML and then choose File>Save As and choose "HTML" under the File Format drop-down box. Having saved this file as an HTML file, I then open Safari and choose File>Open File and select my HTML file; however, when I do this, my web page's text does not appear in the browser window. Instead, the HTML code itself appears in the browser window, as if the browser was not interpreting it as HTML and converting it. The same problem happens when saving the file as a .htm file using Microsoft Word for Mac.
So, as another solution (at the suggestion of a helpful poster in a previous thread), I tried creating a plain text file in TextEdit (instead of a rich text file like before). Now, in TextEdit there is no option for saving plain text files as HTML files, so I simply save it as a Unicode-8 format and then find the file in Finder and change the extension to .htm myself (I've tried .html as well). This, fortunately enough, actually works! When I open the file in Safari I get to see my web page as expected. However, the first time I quit out of the application TextEdit and then try to reopen my .htm file in TextEdit, I no longer can see my HTML code. Instead, TextEdit shows me the actual web page text that I would expect to see when I open the file in a browser, and my HMTL code is lost.
Can someone please help me here? There has to be a way to edit HTML in TextEdit without the code disappearing every time you quit out of the application and reopen the HTML file. Any help is greatly, greatly appreciated. Thank you.

That's the problem -- once I convert it to plain text there is no longer an HTML option under the Save As drop down menu. The drop down menu's title is Plain Text Encoding instead of File Format and the only options I get are Unicode-8, Unicode-16, Western, Chinese, and so forth. I can save it as an HTML file, but only if the file is rich text, which doesn't work for HTML.
So, I can save it as plain text (.txt) and then go and change the extension myself, and like I said, it works if I do that. I can edit HTML in TextEdit and open the file properly in Safari to view my web page. The problem is (I went over all this in my first post) that, after that, if I exit TextEdit and reopen it, my document is no longer HTML code -- it is now simply the text of the web site as if I had opened it in a broswer.
What do you suggest I do?

What about html email on Apple Mail 1.3.11 (v622/624)

Does anyone know of a good tutorial about html email? I understand about the
coding of the email proper, but my question is how you get the html to "link"
as email content, how one posts to his server, etc. I've seen a lot of tutorials
that explain what works with what email servers but have yet to see how you do these basic things. Finally, does the Apple Mail version I'm using below
accomodate html email? I've already coded a simple email in html but have no idea now what to do with it...?
using Mail 1.3.11 (v622/624)with OS 10.3.9
thx people...bq

Another issue with Mail (v3.6, 936); As I was responding to an e-mail this morning my cursor suddenly went nuts! It was as if the "return" key was being held down and it just keeps going! I can hold down the delete key to counteract it but as soon as I let up it starts right back again! Crazy! Might this be a virus of some sort? Anyone have any ideas?

Hello,
To display the buttons "Submit" and "Reset" at the bottom of the Parameter Form, just put the lines
<input type=submit>
<input type=reset>
just before the tag </form>
Example of "After Form Value" :
<table><tr>
<td><input type=submit></td>
<td width=15>
<td><input type=reset></td>
</tr></table>
</center>
</body>
</form>
</html>

The question about HTML ENtities in flash

Hello guys. Some problems with « entities. My movie
extracts data from XML. HTML data im my XML converted to html
entities format so I use this piece of code do decode them:
intro_txt.htmlText=_root.suek_framework.peoplexml.firstChild.childNodes[1].firstChild;
intro_txt.htmlText=intro_txt.text;
It works fine for < > symbols. But it don't work for
another entities like quotes. So in the output i have valid html
code but with & l a q u o ; symbols instead of simple quote ".
Maybe im doing somethin wrong? Maybe some one have idea how to
decode this & l a q u o ; too?
Thanks to all and sorry for my broken english!

For what you show so far, you can probably create it all in Flash without concern for slicing and whatnot.. For starters....
First create the buttons... select Insert -> New Symbol -> Button. Buttons have 3 visual frames... one for Up, one for Over, and one for Down. The 4th frame is useful for defining a larger Hit area for small items. So create a new button symbol and draw the different views you want for the button. When you are done you should be able to make the button work visually without the need for any code. You will want to add code to control the feature displays.

Question about HTML attributes

I am parsing HTML code and need some help. Maybe it's because
I don't understand HTML code or something.
Anyways, I'm trying to get the content of an HTML element. Given the
following Java code:
     // Iterate through the elements of the HTML document.
     ElementIterator it = new ElementIterator(doc);
     javax.swing.text.Element elem;
     while ((elem = it.next()) != null) {
          SimpleAttributeSet s = (SimpleAttributeSet)elem.getAttributes().getAttribute(HTML.Tag.A);
          if (s != null) {
          System.out.println(s.toString());
          System.out.println(s.getAttribute(HTML.Attribute.HREF));
          System.out.println("element: " + elem.toString());
          if (elem.getName().equals("tr")) {
          System.out.print("found TR: ");
          Enumeration e = elem.getAttributes().getAttributeNames();
          while (e.hasMoreElements())
               System.out.print(e.nextElement().toString() + " ");
          System.out.println();
I can't figure out how to parse the content from table data.
Here is my HTML code:
<TR VALIGN="top">
<TD ALIGN="left" COLSPAN="2">
<FONT FACE="Monospace,Courier">KDEN 191753Z 10007KT 050V150 10SM FEW090 SCT120 SCT200 29/M01 A3004 RMK AO2
SLP087 VIRGA DSNT S-NW TCU DSNT SW T02891011 10294 20128 58007</FONT><BR>
<FONT FACE="Monospace,Courier">KDEN 191653Z VRB05KT 10SM FEW090 SCT120 SCT200 28/00 A3006 RMK AO2 SLP095 VIRGA
DSNT SW-NW T02830000</FONT><BR>
<BR>
</TD>
</TR>
The code picks out the HTML attribute "valign" for the TR element. But,
how do I get to the actual content.
What I would like is to get the string that begins with KDEN.
Any comments would be helpful.
Thanks.
-brad w.

I was able to make this work.
What I did was the following:
<code>
     // Parse the HTML.
     kit.read(rd, doc, 0);
     // Iterate through the elements of the HTML document.
     ElementIterator it = new ElementIterator(doc);
     javax.swing.text.Element elem;
     while ((elem = it.next()) != null) {
//          System.out.println("element: " + elem.toString());
          if (elem.getName().equals("content")) {
          start = elem.getStartOffset();
          end = elem.getEndOffset();
          // System.out.println("found content: beg_offset: " + start + "end_offset: " + end);
          if ((end-start) < 4)
               continue;
          try {
               loc = doc.getText(start, 4);
          } catch (BadLocationException ex) { continue; }
          if (loc.startsWith("KDEN"))
               System.out.println(doc.getText(start, end - start));
</code>
I need to use the start and end position of the element to get
the text from the Document.

About html banner into a flash movie

I have a web site done in flash which is a main movie and
everything else is loaded into this movie, and i created a space to
put my affiliate banners. But all affiliate banners is html code .
How do i put them o show them.Thanks

Okay, so my terminology is inaccurate. Sorry, don't mean to
be misleading. This is a sample of the AS code that you can use on
the button that you place over the image:
on (release) {
//Goto Webpage Behavior
getURL("

//End Behavior

Problem about HTML reports gemerated by Oracle Report

We use Oracle Report to genereate Reports in HTML/CSS format.
Everthing is perfect if we make the report with less than 160 pages. Problems
come out when we have reports more than 159 pages. In Microsoft Internet
Explorer (5.0 or 5.5), it can show the content of page 1 to page 159 correctly.
But the content from page 160 onwards is displayed in a mess and words in
those pages (we don't have image, just text) overlap.
If we prview the print-out of the report, in IE 5.5, the format is a different
from what we want. Although we can print it out with format distorted, we can
only print from page 1 to 159 but not from page 160 tothe end.
With Netscape (4.76), we can open the report correctly(but using a longtime!).
When we try to print or preview it, the system shows no response and seems
crashed. We gave it up after two hours.
Does anyone have suggestions on that?

hello,
in my oppinion 160 pages is VERY long for a HTML document.
as both browsers have problems displaying the files, i would assume they simply can not handle such large files.
what you could to to check that, is to create the output to file and then remove the first 100 or so pages using a text editor and see if the pages that were screwed up before are now OK. if so, it is definitly a problem between the browsers and the filesize.

Confusion about .html extension

Hi Guys,
I have a problem with my site at www.dubkasm.com, I find that if I type in just dubkasm.com it takes me straight to my home.html page, but when I type dubkasm.com/remixed it won't take me to that sub page, unless I type the address with.html at the end.
The problem is, I have quoted the link dubkasm.com/remixed on my album artwork (already in shops) but when this is typed in, the page is not found! Is there a way I can remedy this
I hope this is clear. Thanks for your help!

About Error in HTML component

Hi,
There is a question about HTML Component.
As you know, you can load a Webpage in a HTML component by setting a URL in its location property.
And when I write a wrong URL, which is not existing, the HTML component just continue loading forever.
How do I know, if the written URL is correct at all? Is there eny error event handler for that?
thanks

I've got a hot water pipe that goes "gurgle" whenI
hit it with a heavy book - can anyone help?Are you sure it's a gurgle?
Could it be a rattle, or even a squeak?Pretty sure it's a gurgle. I'll check again
Anyway, check for any of the following:
- loose pipe straps
- air leak in the pipe system
Updating the pipe system would be a good idea at this
point, unless you are able to ditch that book and get
the equivalent electronic version.Thanks for your help. But I don't see how getting the electronic version will make things better, how am I supposed to hit a hot water pipe with a .pdf??

Generated lists not working in HTML conversion

Using FM 8.0p277
I have been asked to convert a book to HTML for the first time. When I do this, FM crashes with an error log that I cannot locate in the Program Files folder, as indicated in the error message. I believe it is the generated files that have caused the error(s). Originally, my List of Figures seemed to be the issue, so I tried generating HTML files of just the TOC and the main document in the book. They produced files fine except the links that work in FM from the TOC to the locations in the main file seem broken. If I open the TOC HTML file and click on one of the links, it does open the main document, but always the beginning of the document. I assume that is because I didn't create the HTML from the book file, but from individual files, so I created a book of just the TOC and main document and tried to save as HTML. FM crashed again. Has anyone had a similar experience, both of FM crashes as a result of creating HTML files and of not being able to locate the error logs in the directory indicated?
Janice

Janice,
The standard answer to questions about HTML export is that the feature is not very robust and likely will not produce the result that you want. It might be useful for certain rudimentary applications but generally FrameMaker users use a third-party application such as Mif2Go, RoboHelp, or a Quadralay product for this purpose. You might get lucky and receive an answer to your specific question, but I think it would be unlikely.

Why do I get a white screen in a HTML widget once it has loaded?

I have created some HTML which works fine in Safari but as soon as I make it a widget it loads fine with the Default image on screen and then it just goes white with nothing more than a x in the top left corner. Any ideas what I a might be doing wrong. I have an info.plist directing to the html, a Default.png which works as it appears as loading but the page just will not display.
Any ideas very welcome.
THanks

Without seeing exactly what you have, troubleshooting is difficult.
You could try here iBooks Author: About HTML widget creation for more guidance. I became unstuck once when I made some HTML in Dreamweaver, but forgot to set the Doctype as the HTML5 one.
You could also look at this https://github.com/TrevorBurnham/iBooks-HTML-Widget-Boilerplate

How do you change fonts in an HTML report?

Hello all,
I need to create a report from a test that I've written, and my only feasible option is HTML. Unfortunately, I know next to nothing about HTML, so I'm using the LabView VI's to build the report.
In the attached VI, I've written a program that simply plops a couple lines of text down and saves it in the HTML format. The color, font style, font type all seem to work fine, and when I change them I see the changes reflected in the HTML document. The size, however, doesn't change.
What I need to do is have the ability to have different lines of text be different sizes, or even 1 word in a sentence be a different size.
How do I do this?
What am I doing wrong?
Any help would be greatly app
reciated!

Dear Dave,
The setting of the size is working but your parameters are inadequate for a HTML document.
The reporting VIs are generating HTML which is decrepated. It generates a FONT tag with a size attribute with "30pt" and "10pt" as you have set in the Set Report Font parameters. The HTML standard allows only values of "1" to "7". The standard works with relative sizes so a "pt" does not apply to it. "1" is the smallest size and the actual displayed size depends on the setting of the browser. In MS IE you can set it under View>>Size to one of five degrees.
If you would use "5" and "7" instead of "10pt" and "30pt" you will see the text in different size.
Your values are coerced to 7. That's why you see something you didn't expected.
Unfortunatly
I have no experience with the reporting VIs. I'm not sure if they can use the style sheet formatting which will allow font sizes measured in points.
