Browser ie8 didn't show output

Question

Any one tell me how to run forms on internet explorer 8 while using oracle 9i developer suite. while it is running smothly on ie 6

Answer 1

as far as i know IE8 is not certified for Oracle Apps IE 8 is certified, but only with Sun JRE 1.6.0_16 or higher and Oracle Forms 10g R2 patchset 3 (10.1.2.3.0) or higher (reference: Client Platform Statement of Direction 10g R2 and Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.2) Certification Matrix [ +see Table 9 Oracle Forms Applications on Client Platforms Certified Configurations+ ] ).
1.install FireFox Version 2.0.0.20How does installing FireFox help the OP run a Forms Application in Internet Explorer 8?
2.Install the latest JRE from Sun. I have installed "jre-6u10-windows-i586-p-s.exe".Now you're talking - IE 8 is not compatible with older Java Runtimes. The minimum recommended version is Sun JRE 1.6.0_14 - preferably the current version (1.6.0_23). This is only part of the solution, however, you have to modify the "formsweb.cfg" to match the installed JRE. Modify the following section of the formsweb.cfg (\%ORACLE_HOME%\forms\server\formsweb.cfg):
# System parameter: base HTML file for use with JInitiator client
## Original
#baseHTMLjinitiator=basejini.htm
## New
baseHTMLjinitiator=basejpi.htm
# Page displayed to users to allow them to download Sun's Java Plugin.
# Sun's Java Plugin is typically used for non-Windows clients.
# (NOTE: you should check this page and possibly change the settings)

# Parameter related to the version of the Java Plugin

## New (Specific to version 1.6.0_23)

## Alternatively, specific to version 1.6.0 and any update

# Parameter related to the version of the Java Plugin

#jpi_mimetype=application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.4.2_06
## New (Specific to version 1.6.0_23)

## Alternatively, specific to any update of version 1.6.0
#jpi_mimetype=application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.6.0These changes will instruct Forms to use JPI (Java Plug-In) instead of Jinitiator and specify the JPI version to use.
Copy the jvm.dll (appx Ver 11.0.0.15 size 2.25 MB (2,359,296 bytes)) Copying a different "JVM.dll" is a complete HACK and is not endorsed or supported by Oracle. You would be better advised to upgrade to Oracle Developer Suite 10g R2 (10.1.2.x.x) than to implement a HACK on each client workstation that will run your Forms application.
It will work fine with the IE8 browser.Clearly, it doesn't work. You were on the right track with installing the latest JRE, but you missed the step of modifying the formsweb.cfg to use the updated JRE. After making the aforementioned change to the formsweb.cfg - your Forms 9i application "should" work, but it may not. If it doesn't work, you might be running into an incompatability with the operating system on the client workstation. What OS of your client workstation?
Hope this helps,
