Appearance of forms in DW vs actual web preview

i was wondering why i can't get the forms in dreamweaver
design mode to look like they do in the web preview. the web
preview is great, i just would like that to show through while im
designing. it seems whenever i try to insert a form, it
automatically decides to insert half way down the div. in the
attached example the DW design mode shows the form spaced down a
few lines. i want it to start at the very top of the div. any
ideas? check the link below for a graphic of what im talking about.
much appreciated!
form
not cooperating in design mode

Try using CSS to manage the top/bottom margins on the
<form> tag.

CF Component work on local computer but not on actual web.

I'm using CF9 on windows 7 professional. when ever i execute from a form to the action page i get this error:
Could not find the ColdFusion component or interface VAFOINS_NEW.Componet.display. Ensure that the name is correct and that the component or interface exists.
It works fine on my local computer, however the Componet is not invoking properly when on the actual web. Any suggestions?

My guess is a problem with the dot path notation. I'm always fighting with this. Most likly your local computer is using a virtual directory named VAFOINS_NEW (http://127.0.0.1/VAFOINS_NEW/) and your production site points directly to the VAFOINS_NEW directory (http://somesite.com/). On your live site the dot path notation you are using is expecting http://somesite.com/VAFOINS_NEW/. Dot paths are a pain and whoever invented them should retire as he or she has done enough damage.
I usually do something like this (I'm typing from memory so there will most likely be syntax error or two but hopefully you'll get the idea):
<cfset variables.dotpath="" />
<cfif listFindNoCase(cgi.script_path,"VAFOINS_NEW","/")>
<cfset variables.dotpath="VAFOINS_NEW." />
</cfif>
<cfinvoke component="#variables.dotpath#Componet.display"... />

How to deploy existing forms and reports on the web

Hi Guys,
I have 6i forms and reports within our environment, and we are running client/server architecture, by installing forms and reports runtime on each client PC's. We would like to get rid of this by deploying forms and reports on the web, without zero coding. Can any one suggest and guide me through the process with proper security mechanism enabled along with.
Thanks in advance,
Aji

Thanks for the update,
We have a develpment 10g AS environment setup made,
1) But we are really confused how to present the forms and reports.
We have around 250 forms and reports running on client/server architecture. All these forms/reports have been copied to a fileshare and access control is restricted by folder security.
2) How to deploy forms - entries within formsweb.cfg with Named Configuration sections.
3) How to deploy reports, as to were to copy the .rep files.
getting the following error
REP-110: Unable to open file 'Car_Readings.rep'.

Names of columns don't appear when I read the report on WebI 6.5 ??

Names of columns don't appear when I read the report on WebI 6.5
The report was developped on BO 6.5 and was published on WebI.
When I read the report with the HTML mode, the names of the colums appear.
When I read the report with the PDF mode, the names of the columns don't appear.
I try to read the report with the HTML mode and after, I try to save it in pdf but it doesn't work. (it is the operation of conversion of pdf which doesn't work - it's very long and... nothing appends)

Hello,
This is the default column. I didnu2019t add column heading. But I replaced the name of the column by words.
I havenu2019t change the property of column heading.

Nt 4.0, SP6A

Release notes suggestes the following
FRM-18114: FORMS60_JAVADIR not set.
Cause: For Web Preview from the Builder to work the Registry variable
ORMS60_JAVADIR must point to the location
that contains the Forms Java files. This
varable should have been set by the Oracle Installer when Oracle Forms Developer was installed. A typical value for this variable is c:\orant\forms60\java.
Action: Create or update the registry variable on NT, FORMS60_JAVADIR, and set its value to the location that contains the Forms Java files.
I created a registry entry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SOFTWARE, HOME0 containing the following: FORMS60_JAVADIR:REG_EXPAND_SZ:C:\Oracle\Dev6i\Forms60\java
The error persists.
Has anyone experiences this problem or have
any ideas. Thanks in advance for help.

Theresa,
More than likely, you need to change the properties of the Forms Runtime (ifrun60.exe) to run in Windows XP mode and run with Administrator privileges. Since Oracle Forms 6i is so old it does not work very well with the new security model of Windows 7.
Hope this helps,

Banner does not appear in web preview

I have a banner image that I put at the top of my webpage it looks great in DW. However when I go to web preview in Firefox or IE it does not appear on the page in the browser, just the title bayshore. Can someone please let me know how to fix this.
Thank you

This is a strange way to show the site. Can't you just upload the page?
In addition, I tried running that piece of code through the validator and you do have issues with the HTML that could cause some display issues. I would recommend fixing those first to see if that helps:

How to stop an "Add-ons Manager" tab that keeps appearing every time I open a new web page ?

Does anyone know how to stop a Firefox "Add-ons Manager" tab that keeps appearing every time I open a new web page ?

Solved it shortly afterwards thanks as I realised it must have happened when I refreshed Firefox, so went through the process again and found the boxes for tabs already pre-ticked so cancelled them. Would have been a lot easier though had it been left as an option to tick as I assumed it was another safeguard leaving me with no idea what had happened....
Anyway thanks :-)

No preview or preview button appears when I try to print a web page, as it does for any other file. How can I arrange for preview?

n the dialog box that appears when I try to print any web page, there is neither a preview nor a preview button, (although there is a preview if I open the web item as a pdf file, but that takes an extra step. A preview appears when I print any other file on my computer (a Macbook). Is there a setup procedure that will give a preview when printing one or several web pages?

The Print button in the "3-bar" Firefox menu button drop-down list opens the Print Preview window.
You can click the Print button in the Print Preview window or use the Print item in the File menu (File > Print) or use the Ctrl+P shortcut to have access to the print selection item and other print setup options.
* Tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu bar.
* Use "View > Toolbars > [X] Menu Bar" to have the menu bar visible permanently.

Web Previewer not working in 9iDS

I'm trying to get a generated forms module to run automatically in the web previewer after I generate it. In the Forms Generator Options dialog under the Run tab I have "Run as a Web Form" and "Run Form Automatically" boxes checked. JInitiator 1.3.1.9 is installed and I believe running - the JInitiator Control Panel dialog has the "Enable JInitiator" box checked (does this need to be running?). I have also started up OC4J.
When I generate the module I get the dialog at the end stating that generation is complete but the form does not come up in Web Previewer. Furthermore, "Run the form in Web preview mode" is not in the list of the "List Actions" box in the message window.
Any ideas?
I'm using Designer 9i release 2 (v. 9.0.2.9).

I think Note 198384.1 How To Run Generated Forms via Designer 9i
is what you are looking for.
"Checked for relevance on 19-Feb-2009"
goal: How To Run Generated Forms via Designer 9i/10g
fact: Oracle Designer 9.0/10g
fact: Design Editor
fact: Forms Generator
fact: Reports Generator
fix:
When a form module is created and generated in Designer, one of the actions
available in the Build Action list is to test run the module.
However, in the 9iDS Release 2 product set, the ability to run a Form via a
Client - Server GUI interface has been removed. Instead, forms can only be
run on a Forms Service via a web browser, whether the form is being run from
Designer or from within Forms Builder.
If a Forms Service has not been setup, or is not available to the development
system, then a "reduced version" is available via software installed as part
of 9iDS Release 2 - this comprises of the Jinitiator and OC4J listener. Steps
for settings these up from a 9iDS Release 2 install and running them on the
local, client PC, are given in Note 198297.1.
To enable the Build Action "Run Form from web server" in the Design
Editor, the following additional steps need to be taken :-
1. Forms Generator Options.
Ensure that the following File Destinations are explicitly set; it is
suggested that the same directory be used :-
Forms Options tab -> Destination of Generated Files
Menu Options tab -> Destination of Generated Files
Compile -> Form Executable From Binary -> Destination
Compile -> Menu Executable From Binary -> Destination
Run -> Web Browser : Ensure this is set to a valid web browser installed
in the local PC.
If the Web Browser setting is not entered, then the "Run Form ..." action
will not be added to the Build Action list.
In addition, the following option can be checked :-
Run -> Run Form Automatically
This will cause the form to be run automatically at the end of generation,
via the Forms Service and browser.
2. Preference Settings.
The preference settings group "Web Deployment" holds the preferences that
are used to determine what Forms Service to use when attempting to run the
form from Designer.
WEBPTH (Server form location path) = The local file path where the FMB
and FMX files have been generated to. This is the File Destination set
above in the Generator Options.
WEBURL (Server base URL) = The base URL of the Forms Service.
If a "standard" Forms Service is being used, then this URL will be provided
by the administrator of the Forms Service. However, if the "reduced version"
mentioned above is being used on the client PC, the text for this value is
constructed like so :-
"http://<Local PC Name>.<Domain>:8888/forms90/f90servlet"
where <Local PC Name> is the Full Computer Name of this PC, as defined in
the
Network Identification tab of the Systems applet in the Control Panel
(for Windows 2000)
and <Domain> is the domain which this PC has logged onto, again defined
in
Network Identification tab, for Windows 2000.
Alternatively, if the PC is running stand-alone, then can be omitted.
The rest of the string - the port number of 8888 and the virtual directory
of "/forms90/f90servlet" - are the defaults used by the "reduced version"
of the Forms Service - these are controlled by the values in the file
"cauprefs.ora" in the root directory of the 9iDS Release 2 Oracle home.
These preferences can be set at higher levels than the Module - at the
Container level, or in a preference set. However, note that if the "reduced
version" Forms Service is being used on each client PC, then the WEBURL
details will be specific to each client PC - the preference will therefore
have to be updated depending on which client PC is generating then running
the form.
Comment: where speaking about 9iDS Release 2, it is also applicable for 10g iDS

Field that is not visible in my editing screen but showing in web preview. How to remove it?

Hi Support,
When I preview my form in web preview, I am seeing a field that is not visible in my editing screen. It starts at the left margin of the web preview and runs off the edge of the right side of the page.
The form is also crashing when I attempt 'page view' or 'save as pdf' and I believe this phantom field is the culprit. I have spent considerable time on the form and do not want to recreate from scratch.
Can you please advise how I can make this field visible in the editing section so that I can permanently delete it?
Further information:
I do not have any rules set for any of my fields
I have tried to remove it in Chrome, IE and Firefox
My cache has been cleared today
My plug-ins and flash player are all current versions (updated today and performed a restart)
Thanks,
Kate

.svgz web preview in save options not working

Hi there
I'm a longtime Photoshop / After Effects type with rather less experience in Illustrator, using a newly built PC system
I've just gone to save a diagram created in Illustrator as a .svgz in order to pass to the web guy, but wanted to preview it first, so hit the Web Preview button in the Save dialogue box.... and nothing happens. I have several browser windows opn - IE9 64bit, Chrome - but the svgz appears in none of them
I presumed maybe I need to link Illustrator to a particular web browser somehow, but can't seem to find reference to how to do this, if it is necessary...
How do I get the web preview to happen?
All help appreciated...
I'm using latest Illustrator in Win 7 64bit
jON

I'm using Illustrator CS5 on Win 7 64 bit, and I cannot get Web Preview to work when suning Export, and exporting a file to Flash swf with frames. I have IE set on the Save for Web option, but no such option exists in the Export dialogue box. This option worked fine for the teacher in the help video that shows how to animate a snowboarder graphic when exporting to svf, but I cannot find anything dealing with this in the forums. Are you aware of why this is not working and how to implement it?
