How to simulate DDE in Web Forms?

Surely there is some elegant way to do DDE in a Web Forms (6i)environment?
Given that Forms 7i will only support internet deployment and not C/S, there must be some "migration path" to replace the functionality of DDE in the C/S environment.
My need is a button on a Web Form to dynamically insert data from 8i server into an Excel "template" spreadsheet, then open the spreadsheet on the client. The user can then manipulate data in the spreadsheet. A button in the spreadsheet to synchronize the spreadsheet changes back to the 8i server and exit the spreadsheet and return to the Web Form.
Forms Server 6i is running on Solaris 2.6
Any ideas on techniques to do this?
Can Oracle COM Automation or Oracle Objects for OLE (OO4O) do the dynamic inserting of data into the excel template spreadsheet? (I don't know the difference between these??)
I know web.show_document can be used with a URL to the spreadsheet on the web server (IIS) and the MIME type will launch excel on the client and copy the file to the client.
How then can I get the updated cells back into 8i from the spreadsheet?

Magesh,
the issue of a SSO protected form showing the logon dialog is a knwon issue for Windows200 and the Oracle9iAS base release. If you applied Forms Patch 1 then this should be solved. Hope that I am right in that you are using Oracle9iAS and not Oracle9iDS. Do you see the Single Sign-On logon screen or the Forms logon dialog directly? Check the forms90.conf file in teh forms90/server directory as this contains the Form sso settings (mod_osso) which by default is commented out and therefore inactive. You need to remove the commenting '#' characters and make sure that each sentence having a '#' in front, after that starts on a new line.
The Forms deployment documentation within the Oracle9iAS docu provides this information too.

How to retain focus in Web forms 6i item when displaying pdf image

How to retain focus in Web forms 6i item when displaying pdf image in a multi-record block?
Hello.
I have a Web Forms 6i program (version Forms 6.0.8.19.2) running in a 3-tier application. The web form program has a multi-record block containing invoices. When navigating to a record, the form should display the PDF invoice image which is stored in an Oracle 8.1.7 database as a BLOB in another window. When user press down-arrow, the next PDF invoice image should be displayed.
I am able to accomplish the functionality above by using web.show_document('URL', target') in the when-new-record-instance. The URL being called is a PL/SQL Web Toolkit stored procedure using wpg_docload.download_file built-in.
The problem is that the focus is lost on the Webform and the focus is shifted to the PDF image window when you navigate to the next record using down-arrow. I want to retain the focus in the form as this is a data-entry form, the operator will use down-arrow to go to the next-record rather than the mouse. I also only want to do this for this Invoice Entry form and NOT to all forms.
Please advise how to resolve this problem. Thank you.
Regards,
Armando

How do I access my Web Form Keychain password?

Hello!
I lost the original email containing my password from a web site months ago and need to access the password in the Keychain WEB FORM file.
I dont' need to CHANGE it, I need to see the old one so I can log into the web site again since they changed the site, and the login page is now different with a new URL etc....so the autofill doesn't work.
I'm in Keychain access and I see the event but how do I edit the form so I can see my password?
It's my computer, this shouldn't be so hard to do.
thanks
A

Hey Kappy
thanks.
I jsut found out how to do it.
When I double clicked on the Keychain item, there was a checkbox I didn't see before " show password" I clicked it then entered my system password then it showed it.
thanks!

How to update MD in Web-Form

Hello, gurus!
Does anybody know it is possible to update master data in web-form?
I mean, in web-form there is a function which changes texts in characteristic, and I want to update these texts in analysis item in the same form. The only solution I found was reentering in this form. It is very inconvenient.
May be some magic spells exist to refresh MD directly in form?

Hi Pavan,
I am getting PDF form properly in browser with no values in the fields as it should be. And i have provided one User entered field, When user enters sales order number in that field and presses the submit to sap button other fields rerlated with sales order status information should be displayed with the values related with that sales order number. But after pressing Submit to SAP button i didnt get values in other fields.
Method for Submit to SAP button is also called properly. Even i can see the status information in fields outside the PDF form in Browser.
So, parheps i think that whenever PDF form loads first time in browser, at that time it shows the values in the context variable. But after first load nothing is changed in that PDF form evenif the context values are changed.
Is it true?

Bhavik

How do i fix the "web form must capture customer name and email address" error?

Hi all,
I have a webform that is submitting securely to the bc servers. I get the response:
{"SystemMessage": { "success": False, "message": "ERROR: An error occurred. Your web form must capture customer name and email address. Please fix this issue and re-insert your web form on your web page." }}
I have verified that the "FirstName","LastName","EmailAddress" are actually gettting sent with their corresponding values. I can't seem to figure out why i keep getting this error. Can someone please lend a helping hand?!? Thanks guys... here's my code:
var rAction = 'https://site.worldsecuresystems.com/FormProcessv2.aspx?WebFormID=85886&OID={module_oid}&OTYPE={module_otype}&EID={module_eid}&CID={module_cid}&CC={module_urlcountryc ode}&Referrer={module_siteurl,true,true}&JSON=1';
var rData = 'FirstName='+escape(fName.val())+'&LastName='+escape(lName.val())+'&EmailAddress='+escape (email.val())+'&Username='+escape(username.val())+'&Password='+escape(passwd.val())+'&Pass wordConfirm='+escape(passwd2.val())+'&BillingAddress='+escape(baddress.val())+'&BillingCit y='+escape(bcity.val())+'&BillingState='+escape(bstate.val())+'&BillingZip='+escape(bzip.v al())+'&PaymentMethodType='+escape(paymentMethodType)+'&CardName='+escape(cName.val())+'&C ardNumber='+escape(cNum.val())+'&CardExpiryMonth='+escape(expMonth)+'&CardExpiryYear='+esc ape(expYear)+'&CardType='+escape(cType)+'&CardCCV='+escape(ccv.val())
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: rAction,
data: rData,
success: function(msg){
console.log('success');
$('#result').html(msg);
error: function(msg){
console.log('error');
$('#result').html(msg);

Ok -- after testing this out a little on my own I think it must have to do with not properly serialzing the data you are passing in the ajax function. In the example I linked to earlier they are just serialzing the form data and it works because it converts the data in the form's input fields to URL encoded notation.
If you aren't using an actual form on your site to mimick the example I linked to then when building your "rData" string instead of using the "escape" function for each of the parameter values, you should be using the "encodeURIComponent" function instead which instead of escaping characters will convert it to URL encoded notation. That's probably your issue. Here's more about encodeURIComponent(): http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_encodeURIComponent.asp
Try this with the rData variable instead:
var rData = 'FirstName='+encodeURIComponent(fName.val())+'&LastName='+encodeURIComponent(lName.val()) +'&EmailAddress='+encodeURIComponent(email.val())+'&Username='+encodeURIComponent(username .val())+'&Password='+encodeURIComponent(passwd.val())+'&PasswordConfirm='+encodeURICompone nt(passwd2.val())+'&BillingAddress='+encodeURIComponent(baddress.val())+'&BillingCity='+en codeURIComponent(bcity.val())+'&BillingState='+encodeURIComponent(bstate.val())+'&BillingZ ip='+encodeURIComponent(bzip.val())+'&PaymentMethodType='+encodeURIComponent(paymentMethod Type)+'&CardName='+encodeURIComponent(cName.val())+'&CardNumber='+encodeURIComponent(cNum. val())+'&CardExpiryMonth='+encodeURIComponent(expMonth)+'&CardExpiryYear='+encodeURICompon ent(expYear)+'&CardType='+encodeURIComponent(cType)+'&CardCCV='+encodeURIComponent(ccv.val ())

How to email data from web form?

I need some direction please. I have created a web page (.htm) that has several textboxes, a submit and clear button. The purpose of this web page is for users of the company intranet to input data into the textboxes and then clicking on Submit will email the data to those responsible for filling the users request. The web page will be served up on the companys intranet using the Apache web server that is running on Solaris 10. It seems to me that I will need an email server, but I do not know what Sun program to install and how to configure it. Thank you for any guidance you can provide.

You need an amp (apache2, mysql, PHP/Python) stack - that's exactly the kind of thing they're for. I have the exact setup you're describing at my job. I set up an intranet server where the secretaries could input client information, and then hit "submit." If they didn't fill out the form correctly, it complains at them and makes them do it over, otherwise it emails the form data to me and I input it in our database.
Php has a mail function that uses the system mailer (most likely sendmail?)

How do I get my Web Form - to look like - Paper Form

I have several fairly complicated forms in PDF and WORD.
I was hoping the acrobat form wizard could convert them and then i could import them to formcentral to be then embedded as html forms on website.
Problem is:
1. imported forms can not be converted into embedded html
2. from reading help, i would have to re-design/author the form from scratch.
Which I am willing to do:
Provided:
1. I can actually create a form that looks like the original online (or similar to)
2. I can then print this as PDF (so that it looks exactly like the original pdf) or that it actually fills the original PDF fields from the original pdf document.
IS THIS POSSIBLE?
put another way..
I want to have a form online that looks like the form on paper.
the client can fill it out.
submit
it sends him a copy of the completed form
it sends us a copy of the complted form
if it needs to be changed, a staff member can edit it.
what do I have to do to achieve this?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR HELP!!!

Web Forms in Flash MX 2004

How do I create a web form in flash that calculates both
sub-totals and total cost? (Or an 'add to basket'' page?)
Is it better to create HTML web form outside of flash?

You need some kind of shopping cart product. This is the
easiest way. I don't know of many for Flash but there are several
for Dreamweaver (I've used Cartweaver for a few project and it's
worked fine)
The only other way is create your own which would involves
ActionScript and database of prices and products, etc.
