Forms without Jinitiator

Hi,
Has anyone deployed Forms 4.5 using native Java Virtual Machine (VM) of browser ( i.e without Jinitiator)?
We have got the Forms 4.5 working with the native VM on our development box, but I find some inconsistency in the behavior. These inconsistency are mostly cosmetic, but I have found couple of serious problem which are beyond developers scope. (Observation are mentioned at the bottom)
Does it pay to move to higher version of Forms? Is there any White paper from Oracle explaining these?
Thanks,
Sanjay.
Observations
Cosmetic:
Field labels are not aligned in IE 5 but Netscape 4.73 is o.k. Again this problem in IE is windows version dependent
Functional:
Clicking reload on browser
IE 5 - New applet is launched
Netscape- Existing applet is closed
and new applet appears
Certain bugs are fixed by Oracle, reappear.
null

I am using Dev 2K Forms ver 6 compiled with Dev 2K ver 6i and had problems with using the Java VM with IE 5.0. (Same results with compiling with Forms ver 6.0)
I set the required parameter to use the native VM, calling the cgiexe from the web page.
I would also like to know how to make this work if anyone knows. It would avoid the customer having to download and install Jinitiator on every workstation that needs web access to the forms.
thanks, Louis D.

Running forms without JInitiator

Hello
We have been building and deploying a number of forms based applications using JInitiator for clients inhouse use which works fine.
We now need to build an application that will be available to the public via the internet. The problem is that people will not download JInitiator because they don't know what it is and are worried it is adware or worse.
Is it possible to run Oracle forms using the standard Sun Java JVM downloads for Windows?
If it is could anyone give me some clues how to do it please?
Thanks in advance
Dave

Asli,
Welcome to the Oracle Forums. Please take a few minutes and review the following:

You should always create a new post - never usurp someone else's post. If you need to reference another post, just include the URL to the post in yours.
I've tryied the resolution that you prefered but there is no IE=JIinitiator line in my formsweb.cfg file...As you have found, this setting is not included in Forms 10g R1 - this is a Forms 9i or 10g R1 (9.0.4.x.x) setting.
As to your question of setting up Forms 10g to use the Sun JRE, there are numerous threads in the forum on this topic.
The basics of the setup are as follows; you will need to modify the following lines of the \forms\server\formsweb.cfg:
#baseHTMLjinitiator=basejini.htm -- Original
baseHTMLjinitiator=basejpi.htm -- New
#jpi_classid=clsid:CAFEEFAC-0014-0002-0006-ABCDEFFEDCBA -- Original
jpi_classid=clsid:CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-FFFF-ABCDEFFEDCBA -- New
#jpi_mimetype=application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.4.2_06 -- Original
jpi_mimetype=application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.6.0 -- NewNote: The above settings are for Sun JRE 1.6.0 (any update version). If you will be using version 1.5, you will need to change the 6's to 5's. ;-) You might need to make additional changes, but these basic changes should get you started.
Hope this helps,

Help: how to show 9i forms without browser

Hi, I want to show 9i forms in separate frame without browser, and I use JInitiator. I use separateFrame=true, which worked. But my question is since I don't need the browser, I want to close it. The problem is it'll close the form too. I think the reason for that is the browser is the parent of the form. Can someone tell me whether is possible to close the browser page without closing the actual form? or is there any other way to display actual form without the browser frame. Please help! Thanks,
Sa

Thanx for ur reply,

Is there a way to delete one of several checkboxes from a pdf form without the leftover checkboxes automatically renumbering themselves?

Is there a way to delete one of several checkboxes from a pdf form without the leftover checkboxes automatically renumbering themselves?
I used LiveCycle Designer to make a pdf form with many checkboxes. When I deleted a few of the checkboxes the rest left on the form renumbered themselves. This made my JavaScript out of sync since the JavaScript checkbox numbers did NOT update automatically. I am hoping there is a preference option to not auto update. I just cannot find it,

I believe you're using the same name for each checkbox, right?!
If so, each checkbox has an index number which represents its position relative to the other copies in the XML tree and when you add, delete or reorder the copies the index will always be recreated because thats the way how XML works.
There is no way to stop Designer from doing this, I'm afraid.
To address individual objects through JavaScript you should use unique names.

How to print Adobe Forms without the black/gray backgrounds in the side columns

How can we print Adobe Forms without the black/gray backgrounds in the side columns? We are wasting a lot of ink printing out these forms and would like to have simply black ilnes to distinguish columns and black lettering, but no background colors. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I am not positive what you are printing from but I am thinking it is from the View Responses tab with a response row selected and then shown in "Detail View" and that the column of field names has a dark grey background...
To change the color of the column headers select the row of headers (do this by clicking on the first dark grey header field and then scroll to the last one and shift+click on the last one), then in the "Text" tools change the text color to Black and the Fill color to white:
(Selected the header cells)
Changed the text/font color to black and the fill color to white
Now you can see the detail view does not have the dark grey.
Thanks,
Josh

Unable to submit form without attachment if file upload fails

Hi All,
I have a form, in which I have a input file component.
Scenario 1 - If i don't attach anything and submit the form, it is successful.
Scenario 2 - If I attach a file of size less than 2 MB and then submit, it is successful.
Scenario 3 - If I attach a file of size greater than 2 MB and then submit, ADF gives an error message saying " File is large" which is expected.
3.1 - In the scenario 3, after file upload fails, I want to submit the form without attaching any file. But the form isn't submitted and the warning message always pops up.
3.2 - If I upload file of size less than 2MB again and then submit, it is successful.
Please help me in resolving the issue.
Thanks,
Harini.

Try clearing the error messages
<af:resource type="javascript">
function clearMessagesForComponent(evt){
AdfPage.PAGE.clearAllMessages();
evt.cancel();
</af:resource>Now all yo uneed to do is to call this javascript method e.g. using a <af:clientListener method="clearMessagesForComponent" type="focus"/>on a button or any other field.

Contact form without PHP Help!

I'm trying to create a contact form to send an email to me
when they click on the submit button. I'm using the "getUrl and
Mailto). It works when I set the variables manually, but I can't
get it to store the value of the user input fields to use in my
message body.
This has got to be a simple matter of syntax or placement of
the var function. Please forgive me for being such a newbee!
Thanks in advance for any help.

I don't think you're going to have any luck processing a contact form without the support of some server-side scripting that is capable of interacting with the server.

Japanese font package being required for form without Japanese

I created a form in Adobe Acrobat Pro using (as far as I know) all English characters. I saved the form and am now trying to open it on another computer that has Acrobat Reader X. The error message I'm receiving is "A font package is required to correctly display this page. Click OK to direct your browser to download the add-on from adobe.com...." The font package that it wants me to load is Japanese. Once I load that font pack, the form opens without any problems.
I'm not the only one having this problem, others who are trying to open the form are experiencing the same difficulty.
So, why does Reader think my form contains Japanese fonts, and how do I get rid of them so others can open the form without having to install a font package?
Thanks!

As far as I can see, there are no asian characters there. Here are the fonts listed:
BellGothicStd-Bold
FuturaBT-BoldCondensed
FuturaBT-Book
FuturaBT-BookItalic
FuturaBT-Light
FuturaBT-LightItalic
Helvetica
KozMinPr6N-Regular
ZaphDingbats
ZaphDingbatsItCbyBT-Regular
Thanks again!

Position to first field in a form WITHOUT JAVASCRIPT

DOes anyone know how to position to a field in a form without using javascript OR is there code that can be used in JSP to tell whether the browser is javascript enabled and within that block, use javascript to position to the field.

Unfortunately, the only way I know how to do it is using JavaScript and the onLoad event. You can determine if a browser is JavaScript compatible simpley by looking in the request header for the type and version of the browser, and you know which browsers support javascript. But you'll need to use javascript to figure out if they actually have javascript turned on.

Submitting Forms without email programs

Hi,
I was wondering if there was any way to submit the pdf forms without having to rely on an email program such Outlook. Is there any way a code can be written to be able to submit forms where they don't have to be attached to the email prior to be sent? Sort of like forms that we fill online.
Thank you!!!!!!!

Yes, in this case Acrobat.com is the web server that I talked about. Your client would need to set up an account there and distribute the form using their own licensed copy of Acrobat.
The downside to using Acrobat.com is troubleshooting when things go wrong on the server end, which I've experienced a number of times. Since it is controlled by Adobe, there's very little you can do when things don't work as expected.
I'll try to find some other resources to direct you to for other approaches.

Export PDF converts filled PDF form without the data - Turns filled PDF form onto blank Word doc. Is there a solution to this or did Adobe just sell me a service that doesn't work?

Export PDF converts filled PDF form without the data - Turns filled PDF form onto blank Word doc. Is there a solution to this or did Adobe just sell me a service that doesn't work?

ExportPDF is not for forms. In general, converting forms to Word is a really, really bad idea which can even cause legal problems. Work with the form as a PDF. Acrobat (not Reader) can export form data as simple text for example.

How can I create a long employment form without making the form widget drag?

How can I create a long employment form without making the form widget drag?

Sorry Sachin, I mean that I created a simple form on the page from the widget and started adding fields to it. The more fields I add the slower the delay becomes in creating a new field. Even when I try to select and drag or move an item, there's a huge delay and sometimes the program feezes, loose what i've done and have ot restart.
I'm doing an enployment form that has more than 20 fields, at least, and I need to be able to build the fields in separate categories, like Education, Past Employment, etc... quickly without delay issues.
I can probably send you a snap shot of what I'm talking about if I cna post it or attach it here..?
