Browser window checking and form submission

Hi,
If I know the browser window name is it possible to write an application which can execute the javascript functions within the webpage?
This application needs to be a stand alone one.
If someone has done something like this please do let me know. any code samples would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
One possible reason could be the Aero Peek feature of Windows kicking in. The Windows key + spacebar is the usual shortcut key for Aero Peek, but there could be other shortcut keys.

Browser Back Button and form navigation

Some times when you use browser back button and adf-taskflow navigation buttons, validation on form fails, witout having made any change even with enabled token validation.
Reproduction steps on HR schema:
1. Create QueryDepartment and EditDepartment Views and navigation rules in adfc-config.xml
2 Create ADF view only table page for QueryDepartment selectable, and add navigation button to go to EditDepartment
3. Create EditDepartment form with navigation buttons and button to navigate back to QueryDepartment
test:
1.Run QueryDepartment and select a department
2.Go to Edit Department using navigation button
3.Navigate to next department pressing the 'Next' button
4.Navigate back using the Browser Back button.
5.Try to navigate back to QueryDepartment using the navigation button.
My result is validation error on DepartmentId field 'Error: JBO-25013: '
Is this a bug or am i doing something wrong?

Hi,
maybe I don't get it, but as I understood you have problem with focus on select button. So why don’t you set focus onLoad on another element of your page?
Something like onload=”$x(‘ELEMENT_NAME’).focus()”;

Pre-populated PDF forms and form submission

Ok, I must be blind or something, I've searched for answers to this question, and see unanswered posts around the web, and if there are answers, they don't help. Perhaps if someone can answer this, it will help many others as well:
I've read about how FDF/XFDF (the older method) can be sent to the client side, which will open the specified PDF file (as specified using the "/F" flag in the FDF) and load the fields values also specified in the FDF (using the /FIELDS and /T flags, etc.). I was recently told that XFA is the new format, but reading the docs is not clear to me.
QUESTION: What is the proper method to pre-populate the FIELDS of a PDF form (created using LiveCycle Designer, or Acrobat, or whatever) that gets sent to a client browser? Changes to this pre-populated data gets re-submited via an HTTP post button (or whatever) back to the server.
Note: At the server backend, say using C# in Visual Studio 2005, I can simply read the posted HTML form and store the fields values into a database; However, I need to be able to pre-populate these PDF forms with selected patient names, etc., so that healthcare officials can complete them more easily BEFORE they get posted back to the server. These pre-populated fields (some of them anyhow) must STILL be editable (not flatten to static text or something).
Thanks.

From your description, is doesn't sound like it has anything to do with the virtual enviroment. It does sound like the forms simply need to be Reader-enabled. This allows Reader to save filled-in forms, which is necessary when you want to email them. If all of your users can use Reader 11, the forms do not need to be Reader-enabled since it is capable of saving non-enabled form. To enable a form in Acrobat 10, select: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features

Windows XT and Forms Developer

I'm in a situation that I have to run Multiple SID's on a single
Notebook. Therefore, I purchase a Toshiba Satellite that is
running a PIII 1.1 Ghz with a 30 Gig Hard Drive and 512M or
Ram. I was able to install Oracle Enterprize Edition for the
Database and it created the Sample Database. When I try to
install Forms/Reports, the Installer Starts then get an error
and states it has to Shut Down. I just downloaded Patch 8 for
Windows NT that I will try to install tomorrow. Thus far, I'm
not sure that this will fix my problem. Any other Suggestions?
Or should I return this computer?
Thank You

Readonly and form submission

Hi,
I have a real problem with form submissions and readonly text fields. The problem occurs when I have a readonly text field and a field which is requirted to have a value. An example:
<f:view>
   <h:form>
      <h:inputText
         id="test"
         value="#{Test.param1}"
         readonly="true"/>
      <h:inputText
         id="test2"
         value="#{Test.param2}"
         required="true"/>
      <h:inputText
         id="test3"
         value="#{Test.param3}"/>
      <h:commandButton
         action="#{Test.doTest}"
         value="Ok"/>
   </h:form>
</f:view>When showing this form the first time there will be a value in the text field with id test. When submitting this form and the form isn't correctly validated the user will be returned to the same page BUT there will be no value in the text field with id test but all other values, that were filled in, will be displayed. Is there a way around this so a value in the read only can be redisplayed even thugh the form isn't correctly validated?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Balus is right, they are already set and the bean is in a request scope.
The backing bean looks something like this:
public class Test {
   private String param1;
   private String param2;
   private String param3;
   public String getParam1() {
      return param1;
   public void setParam1(String param1) {
      this.param1 = param1;
   public String getParam2() {
      return param2;
   public void setParam2(String param2) {
      this.param2 = param2;
   public String getParam3() {
      return param3;
   public void setParam3(String param3) {
      this.param3 = param3;
   public String prepareUpdate() {
      MyClass mc = service.getMyClass(someId);
      this.param1 = mc.getParam1();
      this.param2 = mc.getParam2();
      this.param3 = mc.getParam3();
      return "success";
   public String doTest() {
      return "success";
}The prepareUpdate() method is called to initialize the backing bean and then the jsp page is shown and my problems begin.
Thanks in advance

Forms Browser window and Internet shortcuts

Hi,
We are in the process of migrating our Forms 4.5 app to 9i, and have hit a problem with Internet shortcuts, in that the shortcut grabs the first available browser window.
Separately I had added some Javascript that warns the user of an attempt to navigate away from the page, because the seemingly unused browser window is of course vital, however the Internet shortcut is now useless.
We could, as a precaution against Internet shortcuts, open an extra browser window before our Forms browser, but I don't believe that 3 windows for every forms application is the right approach (gross understatement!).
Can anyone offer any alternatives?
Thanks,
Neville Sweet.

If you are using IE 5.5 or higher as the browser you might consider hta technology (microsoft specific, I peronally would avoid it...). Look at subject HTA Applications on the microsoft site. HTA stands for HTML Application. It is HTML that runs outside the browser's security domain as client software.
We have implemented this method for a customer who insisted on having the Webforms applications being started exactly the same way as was the case with c/s, i.e. from windows menu shortcuts.
A beter way I think, is to offer a home page with links to the Forms Applications.

How to check if the browser window is open?

Background:
In my applet, I have 2 buttons: "Open" and "Close".
When "Open" is clicked, I open a URL using:
getAppletContext().showDocument(new java.net.URL("http://server/MyPage.html"), "MyWindow") This works fine.
When "Close" is clicked, I want to close the previously opened browser window. For that, I am using: getAppletContext().showDocument(new java.net.URL("http://server/Close.html"), "MyWindow") In Close.html, I have used JavaScript's self.close() on OnLoad event.
This also works fine, i.e., the previously opened browser window gets closed.
Now the problem:
If the previously opened browser windows is manually closed, then when "Close" button is clicked, a browser window flashes and goes off. To avoid this, I want to detect if the previously opened browser window is still open - before clicking on "Close" button. Is there a way to do this?
thanks and regards,
DAKAMATH

Note that I am using self.close() in onLoad event because I am closing the same window. If the window doesn't exist, it will create (from Java) and close it (from JavaScript). So it flashes. So it is required that I need to check for browser window existance from within Java and not in JavaScript.
thanks and regards,
DAKAMATH

Footer seems to be "sticking" to bottom edge of browser window and not bottom of website

Hi, all
I am designing a site in Muse CC (2014) and have my footer on the master template located in the designated footer area. But for some reason the footer is anchoring or sticking along very bottom edge of the browser window instead of at the bottom of the live website area. Below is a link to the website:
Home
You may need to adjust your window and drag down to see whats actually happening, since on first appearance it seems to sit correctly at bottom edge of website.
Thanks for your assistance!!
Howard

No, its still not correct. It looks like it upon first appearance but if you reduce the view so you can get space below the website, the footer stays fixed to bottom edge of browser window. Seems to happen in most browsers not just Safari. You need to stretch the browser window down and footer moves with it. Thanks.

Opening a browser window

My issue is as follows:
Our application consists of images and forms. We display the image in an image viewer, on left half of the screen and the form on the right half.
When we display the image in a browser using web.show_document the image gets displayed fine but the focus remains on the newly opened browser window. The user has to click into the form to start entering information from the image into the form, losing valuable time in a high volume processing environment.
Is there a way other than using web.show_document (foreign functions/Java/any other technology) that will allow me to open a browser window from the form and then send the control back to the form?
Thanks

Hi,
check this one
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT

Unable to close parent browser window

Hi,
I am trying to close parent browser window from POST-FORM trigger using java script as it is described on metalink. My browser (IE 6) appears to be hanging when trying to execute web.show_document with java script. I am pretty sure that it is a known problem on Windows XP SP2. but I was unable to locate the right workaround. It seems that I tried everything with no success.
If somebody experienced similar problem and solved it I would appreciate if you could share your knowledge.
Thanks in advance,

New Browser Window from Hyperlinks on PDF created in In Design

I am creating PDF documents using In Design CS3. The PDFs have hyperlinks to other PDFs as well as hyperlinks to webpages. The finalized PDF is being accessed through our website as a link on the webpage. The PDF is opening in a new browser window/tab and the hyperlinks are working great. My problem is this: How do I get it so that the hyperlinks on the PDF open to a new browser window as well. Currently, when I click a link, it changes the current browser window that the PDF is in. I want to set this so that anyone, from any computer will have it so that the link opens a new window/tab.

In Adobe Acrobat (the application, not the .pdf reader) use the Link Tool to edit the hyperlinked text object. Remove the “Open a web link” action assigned by default to handle the hyperlinked text when clicked. Assign a new action to the linked text that will open the hyperlink in a new window.
Note: The links have to be established each time you create a PDF – they do not carry over from In Design or any other software.
1.     Access the Link tool (Tools > Advanced Editing > Link Tool)
2.     Right click on the hyperlinked text and select Properties
3.     In the Link Properties dialog box click on the Actions tab
4.     In the middle of the Actions panel in the Actions section click on the Open a web link action listed there to select it.
5.     Click the Delete button located just below that section in the lower right corner. This removes the action from the list and the Actions section should now be empty.
6.     In the Add an Action section right above the Actions section click on the Select Action drop down menu and select the Run a JavaScript action from the list.
7.     Click the Add… button.
8.     In the JavaScript Editor that opens up, click your cursor in the Create and Edit JavaScripts area, like you would in a word processor to begin typing, and type the following line:
app.launchURL("http://www.MySampleURL.com/someFolder/somePage.html", true);
9.     Change the hyperlink text between the quotation marks to your desired URL.
Ex: app.launchURL("http://www.cnn.com", true);
Caution:
1.     The code is case sensitive so make sure you typed app.launchURL NOT app.launchurl or some other case combination.
2.     Make sure that you have quotation marks around your hyperlink URL.
3.     Make sure there is a semicolon at the end of the line of code you just typed.
4.     Make sure that the quotation marks are straight up and down – not on an angle.
10. Click OK to close the JavaScript Editor dialog box.
11. Click OK to close the Link Properties dialog box.
12. Save the .pdf and test your .pdf hyperlink by opening the .pdf document in a browser, click the link and check to see that it opens in a new browser window.

Opening of an ADF applcn in a new browser window from another ADF applcn.

The requirement is in the form of a usecase below, can you please let us know how could we resolve this.
Let us consider we have two ADF applications A and B. Once ADF application A is rendered, in one of the pages of Application A there is a link which takes us to Application B. We want to open the ADF application B in a new browser window.
There is one more restriction here, the first time the link in Application A is clicked it should bring up the Appliciation B in a new window say W2 , later on if the person clicks multiple links from Application A it should refresh the exisiting open window W2 with the Application B. i.e we do not want multiple windows to come up for a single link.
I do see the commandlink has a usewindow=true ,this is the functionality we want. basically the first time the link is clicked a new window should pop up, later on every click of the command link we want to refresh the same open window which had come up the first time the command link was clicked.
Edited by: user504058 on Nov 9, 2010 6:05 AM

I did try using the Golink with targetFrame with all the values "_blank", "_parent", "_self" , "_top". with targetFrame value set as _blank it brings up multiple windows.
Let me be more clearer, I do have application A in browser window say W1 and when i click a link from Application A present in browser window W1 the Application B should open up in new browser Window W2. And further on simaltaneous clicks on the link in Application1 should only refresh the Window2 with Application B.
i.e, at any given time i want only two windows to be present i.e, W1 and W2.

Suddenly every time I close a browser window it brings up another window that I have minimized, how do I STOP THIS?

I often have several browser windows minimized, and suddenly when I close one, one of my other minimized windows pops up rather than just staying minimized. It's driving me crazy, I don't know how it happened and cannot find an option for that behavior.

Closing browser window with Javascript

In our Forms application, we have been using a line of Javascript in POST-FORM to close the browser window after the form is closed. After installing Windows XP SP2, this no longer works and my understanding is that putting the code in a standalone HTML file, and calling this file from POST-FORM will work.
1. Where does this HTML file reside? My guess is
{ORACLE_HOME}\forms90\server
2. How is this script invoked? I guessed it would be
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('close.html').
I'm clearly wrong, as this does not work!
Many thanks in advance.

You might also want to look at the following thread:
Re: IE message "The web page you are viewing is trying...
It refers to the addition of some JAVASCRIPT to your formsweb.cfg file which resolves the problem of the IE message "The web page you are viewing is trying..." from being displayed. It still may not work if you are running seperateFrame=True though, I have detailed the problem I'm experiencing in the associated thread.
I'd be interested to hear if you can get round the display of the message if you are running in a separate frame.

IE 10 spawns multiple browser windows

This problem occurs the day after we release patches each month.
From time to time, when users login and get their desktop, IE spawns a bunch of
browser windows (20+) and the users have to close them out. What is the cause and how do you stop this behavior?

Hi,
According to my experience, your system probably infected by malware or virus, you can use security software scan your system firstly.
On the other hand, how about resetting IE settings? Please have a try.
Please check if IE enabled any other plugin that may cause this problem.
