Font & box alignment issues in form building

Hi There,
I am trying to update our application page however I did not orginally build the page and I have very little experience with forms.
What I need help with is:
1) How can I increase the font size for all field names thoughout the form e.g. First Name, Middle Name etc, House #, Suburb/State, Current Employer etc etc ?
2) Some fields display out of line with one another e.g. 'Martial Status' and '# of Dependents', 'Years' and 'Months'. These fields line up fine in DW but obviously do not display correctly - how can I fix this?
These issues appear to be only happening in IE - I currently use IE8 and I only assume the issues will be the same in previous versions, if not worse.
The link for the form is: http://www.lombardfinance.com.au/dev/card_newsite.html
If someone can help me that would be much appreciated!!
Thanks!

Why do you have a <sub> tag around each <label> tag's contents?
<label for="firstName"><sub>Applicant 1<br />First Name:*</sub></label>
Removing that would help make the label contents larger, and it could be that this would be all you need.
With regard to the layout question, I'd like to see you fix these validation errors before tackling that. I feel it's wasted effort to try to troubleshoot layout issues on a page with invalid HTML....

Forms Builder 10.1.2.3 Crash in Windows 7

Followed the installation steps mentioned in metalink note: 559067.1 [How to Install Developer Suite 10.1.2.3 on Windows Vista or Windows 7 ].
Followed the installation steps till point 7.
After the installation when I tried opening the forms builder (ORACLE_HOME/BIN\frmbld.exe) it immediately crash after oracle logo with the error message "Oracle Forms Designed had stopped working"
Machine details:
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
Macbookpro 2012
This is urgent. Any quick help is highly appreciated.
Thanks

I've installed Oracle Developer Suite (ODS) 10g R2 on numerous Windows 7 systems and have only encountered an issue with Forms Builder crashing a couple of times. Each time, I've been able to resolve the problem by modifying the OS PATH environment variable to ensure there is not a conflict between Oracle versions. If you only have ODS 10g installed, this should not be a problem, but if you have different versions of Forms installed - this could very well be the problem. My you might want to take a look at the OS PATH and make sure all Windows related directories are listed first. Then list the ODS directories second and lastly, list everything else. Oracle has a bad habit of putting it's program directories before the operating system directories.
It is also possible that your installation media is bad since your install is crashing in Windows XP mode as well. That being the case, you may want to download the installer again.

Change font size in Forms Builder?

I wonder if it's possible to make the Forms Builder font size larger, say size 14? The purpose is to make a Forms presentation easier to follow with a big audience.
//Martin

About all you can do is set the screen settings down, which results in everything on your screen being larger. Try 800 x 600.

Problem creating a hierarchical tree in forms builder[issue with the query]

Hi all,
I have 2 tables.
box (box_id, box_name)
item(item_id, item_name, box_id)
In a box there are several items.
I want to create a hierachical tree to display items that are present in each box.
LIKE:
|---BOX1
| |----ITEM 1
| |----ITEM 2
|
|---BOX2
| |----ITEM 1
| |----ITEM 2
Currently i am trying this query:
SELECT -1 state, box_name, 'icon' icon, box_id val
from box b, item i;
I don't know what value to put for level, i don't know how to code the 'connect by prior' part.
Could you please advise me?
Michaël.
PS. Then i will eventually use this query in forms builder.

Hi MichaelR
i get the FRM - 47321 error in forms builder ..
Hence In order to populate a tree, the Select order must retrieve 5 columns:
STATUS, LEVEL, LABEL, ICON, VALUE u should notice this orders in ur Query this will solve the error and pls notice that the...
My advice is to use the On Line help in ur forms builder to help u in this ...
Initial state : number
Node tree depth : number
Label for the node : varchar2
Icon for the node : varchar2
Data : varchar2This should be in WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE-trigger in order to populate ur tree...
another thing why don't u think of building ur tree as i did here in the following example...Pls have a look here ....
Hope this helps...

Issue with HTML Editor of XML Form Builder.??

Hi All,
We are using HTML Editor of XML Form Builder to enter the Content. This content will be displayed to teh User by parsing these XML Files generated by the XML Form Builder Application.
But, when we parse the XML, the other field values are coming properly, except HTML Editor field Content.
This is working fine, only when I enter a Single line Text. If I enter some Spaces, New lines, Paragraphs, etc. the XML Parsing is not returning any Content..
And also when I use Text Area, the total content is returning as a Single Paragraph, Even if I enter multiple lines, spaces,.
If anyone has Idea on this, Please Help me to solve this Issue ASAP.
Thanks&Regards||
Ashok Kumar M.

Hi Bala,
It is already mapped correctly. If I enter a single line Text in HTML Editor, I am getting the same Text after Parsing. But If I enter multiple lines, spaces, new lines, etc., then the Problem.

Forms Builder default font?

Is there anyway to set the default font that Forms Builder uses when creating text items?
Normally when I start developing a new form Forms Builder defaults the font to Microsoft Sans Serif 8, but for some reason everytime I open Forms Builder now I get a font of Tahoma 8 and I'd like to change it to something else.

Java fonts are different and limited, so even you set your fonts different on windows, at runtime you will be limited to the java supported fonts. I usually set it to helvetica and it seems pretty close to what I see at runtime. But , we are developing and deploying on Linux, so it may be different on windows.

Issue with XML form builder

Hi All,
1 ) My XML form builder is hanging up very very frequently (other than this, my portal is very fast).
when I save the project its hangs up at "50% saving internal model". then I have to close the xml form builder and reopen it and save it again (when i do it repeatedly, some time it saves).
when I click on "open Project" many times its not popup the project list, I have to close the xml form builder, logout from my portal and then login back.
Its horrible to work on this, keeps on hanging every time. Any idea why its behaving like this? as I said, my portal is very fast except XML form builder.
My Java version is 1.4.2_16... XML form builder verison is 6.xx
2) when clicked on "preview" button, can we open a pcd iview??? my requirement is, when user clicks on preview button I need to open my application built in PDK java (created iview out of it, which shows xml form in a better way)?
3) Can I show "Edit" form first other than "Renderer" form in News application? Presently it shows renderer form-> user has to click edit link -> then it will open Edit form. I want "Edit" form to be visible to the user in the first step itslef. is it possible?
Thanks

Hi.
I suppose changing of the JDK, because 1.4.2_16 is not recommended version (see SAP Note 716604). Refer to note 718901 - How to Change the JDK of the J2EE Engine.
Also check what version of client JRE in use. (see Note 1341069 - XML Forms Builder not supported if client JRE is 1.6).

I am facing No plugin to show content error while trying to run oracle from on desktop through form builder 10g. What is your OS version?
What Java version are you using?
Have you configured your Oracle Developer Suite (ODS) 10g to run forms from the Forms Builder?

Hi Lorcan.
So what exactly happens when you try to start XML Forms builder, do you get an actual error or does it just not start at all?
> Actually the News are not getting displayed . The HTML (Html tages)are not getting rendered properly in XML Form Builder.
This news are perfectly working in other environment (Dev/Qlty) but not in Production .. where i am facing the issue of rendering the news ( not in correct format as expected)
It is appearing as link. where as in my other environment the Text in proper HTML format.
(Link of News appearing in production) whereas in Dev/Qlty proper text with Heading/Font/Colour appears. Or are you only seeing errors when you run the environment check?
> I am getting the errors when running the environment check on in Production but not in Development/Quality.
Did you try it on different clients or with different users? Is this a new installation or have you recently upgraded? Are all your components on the same SP level?
> This is new installation but SP level are exactly same across the system(Dev/Qlty/Prod).
Also the check the settings and found proper..
Root Directory * /usr/sap/<System-ID>/SYS/global/config/cm/etc*
Please let me know am I missing something..
Why its not running on my production system.

Login Screen in Oracle forms builder 6i

Hello everyone
I am trying to create a canvas with a login screen and password in oracle forms builder 6i.
So far I have create the following table:
CREATE TABLE PASSWORD
(USER_ID NUMBER(3)
CONSTRAINT PASSWORD_USER_ID_PK PRIMARY KEY,
PASSWORD VARCHAR2(20) NOT NULL);
Inserted the following values:
INSERT INTO PASSWORD (USER_ID,PASSWORD)
VALUES (1,1010);
INSERT INTO PASSWORD (USER_ID,PASSWORD)
VALUES (2,2020);
Created a MENU canvas with a LOGIN button TI_USER_ID and TI_PASSWORD text boxes.
In the LOGIN button i have inserted the following WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger:
BEGIN
SELECT USER_ID
INTO :GLOBAL.USER_ID
FROM PASSWORD
WHERE USER_ID = :LOGIN.TI_USER_ID
AND PASSWORD= :LOGIN.TI_PASSWORD;
GO_BLOCK('PASSWORD');
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
:GLOBAL.COUNT := :GLOBAL.COUNT + 1;
IF :GLOBAL.COUNT = 1 THEN
MESSAGE('wrong');
MESSAGE('wrong');
ELSIF
:GLOBAL.COUNT = 2 THEN
MESSAGE('wrong');
MESSAGE('wrong');
ELSIF
:GLOBAL.COUNT = 3 THEN
EXIT_FORM;
END IF;
END;
When i try to compile that it gives an error Bad bind variable LOGIN.TI_USER_ID
Bad bind variable LOGIN.TI_PASSWORD
What am i doing wrong?

Ok i changed the button to contain only the following:

when i now press login it gives an error FRM 40735: WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger raised unhandled exception ORA-01403
i tried to reffer to several items in several blocksi suspect that when you removed the exception it ends up with the no data found error. you need not to remove the exception clause try to bring that back. then try in SQL*Plus to see if your query returns any rows with the same data that you are attempting to use in your TI_USER_ID and TI_PASSWORD block item. if it does not return that is the cause of your issue it will not execute the GO_ITEM() command it will simply go to the exception clause.

Migrating Forms 61 to 10g - Forms Builder Crashing

We are migrating from Forms 6i to 10g. The application works on a HP-UX box, and since we do not have the necessary setup done in the Unix box yet, we are trying to compile the forms in Windows before-hand to see if we can pre-empt some errors.
I have written a batch command to compile the 6i forms in windows (Windows XP) by invoking the 10g Forms Builder.
While it works like a charm for most of the forms (we have around 500 forms), there are a few forms for which the compiler/builder simply crashes. The .err file created for this form has absolutely nothing, it is a 0KB file.
When I try opening such forms in Forms Dev 10g, and then compile them, the Dev crashes. It gives no indication of the error.
By crashing I mean that windows throws the error message saying "Application has to be closed. Send error report: yes/no"
Can someone please tell me if you faced such a problem, and how you went about solving it?

Try a Compile All ( Ctrl - K ), then Ctrl - T.
Not sure about XP, but in Vista, the 10g Builder and batch compiler will crash if a PLL Library is not available when the form is compiled.
Make sure the PLL Library is available, and all its objects compile in the 10g setup.
If that does not help, then try a semicolon-to-semicolon replace all, then save the fmb. Then restart the Forms Builder, and open the fmb again, and try compiling.
Here is an old link describing the issue:
Re: FMB size shrinks dramatically

Forms builder 10 redhat 5 interfase problem

When I installed it, all the packages needed was installed before so all librarys must to be installed in the system.
Any idea to help?
Thanks in advanced & regards.
