Icons on a web form

I am having trouble getting the icon pictures to show up on a web form. After perusing the discussion forums on this problem, here is what I have done:
Win2000 running Apache (from the Oracle 8i installation CD)
I edited the registry.dat file and added the following:
default.icons.iconpath=/dev60icons
I edited the httpd.conf file for apache and added the following:
Alias /dev60icons "c:\oracle\dev6\forms60\server"
In the Win2k registry I added the following:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> ORACLE -> HOME1
UI_ICON = c:\oracle\dev6\forms60\server
In the formsweb.cfg file I have modified the following:
IE50=native
All of my icons are in both ICO and GIF formats in this directory.
When I run the form using the Forms6i runtime, the icons show up just fine.
Using the web browser, I can surf to http://my.web.server/dev60icons/cancel01.gif and the file shows up just fine.
I have tried just about everything.
What am I doing wrong?
TIA

Well, it turns out all of the entries to the formsweb.cfg, httpd.conf and to the registry.dat files were fine. (you don't need the "/" at the end of the alias). What it turns out to be is that the program I was using to convert the ICO file to a GIF file did not put a global colormap into the GIF file. Once I corrected that (using Paint Shop Pro) the icons showed up just fine.
Thanks for your help!

Displaying icons in 10g web forms

Hi,
I was wondering if there is anyway I could use my jar file to display my images in my form. I created a jar file with images and I want to use them for my forms. The problem is other developers are using their own images from certain directories. In the registry.dat file they have a directory default.icons.iconpath=/icons/ already in place and in the .cfg file they have imageBase=DocumentBase. In my configuration for my form i put in imagebase=codebase but it seems that the other entry overrides mine because the images do not appear.Is there any way I could use my jar file to view my images without changing what other developers are using or would I have to put them in the directory with all the other ones.
thanks
Richie

Hi,
I've tried putting the jar file in the directory it mentions in the registry.dat file but that still does not work. I've also tried leaving the parameter in the .dat file blank and setting my imagebase=codebase and i am able to see the icons. My problem is that other developers are already using it using the documentbase and setting the .dat to a specific folder. I just thought there might be a way to read my jar file without interfering with the way the others are displaying their images. Its easier to have all my icons in a jar file then putting them all in a directory.
thanks

Icon display problem in web form

Hello,
I am running form through browser. i have converted all my ico files to gif. but icon on the button in web form is not rightly positioned and not clearly displayed as it was in client/server(ico file).
please help me out.
thanks
abhishek

Hi,
it may be that Forms requires your buttons to be a bit bigger in size after converting .ico file to .gif. However, the icons are referenced by a URL link and therefore shouldn't be of a lower quality. At least it should have the same display quality as it has when opening teh gif in a Browser.

OLE Container linked documents conversion to Web Forms

We have developed a form within our Oracle 6i application which allows users to navigate directly from the Forms application to relevant documents. We use an OLE container and the documents (Word, Excel, PDF etc) are linked rather than embedded in the database. I understand that OLE containers are not supported within Web Forms. I'd like to maintain the functionality within the application and welcome any suggestions. I was hoping that Web_Util would provide this but it doesn't appear so. We have over 12000 embedded references to documents which we'd like to extract or retain. A possible solution would be to extract the filenames and paths/locations and have them available as a hyperlink.
I have no idea how to extract the file from the database blob column. There are many samples of code on Metalink to extract the document and store it locally but that's not what we want.
We use an OLE container (now Obsolete) with the OLE Tenant Type set to Linked, and OLE Tenant Aspect set to Icon. So the actual document is not embedded in the database but somehow the Application (Word Excel etc) knows the filename and path when you double click on the Icon.
I would like to extract the filename/path from the blob column and transfer it to another column which will be used as a hyperlink.

The documents are NOT stored in the database, they are linked. We have the documents on the network but have no idea which documents match to which unique record id on the database. Hence the need to extract the name and location of the files. Some ids can have up to 10 different documents attached to them
The use of OLE Tenant type "Linked" was really a Forms 6 version of a hyperlink.
I've got a hyperlink working for future use in attaching new documents to a record id. I am worried that we've lost the record of old links. I don't understand how Oracle can make something obsolete without at least providing an upgrade method.
Hope this makes it clearer.

Weird icon display problem (9iAS Forms 9.0.4)

Let me start out with the fact that I have setup 6 or 7 systems displaying GIF's as icons in web forms (both Forms 6i and Forms 10g/9.0.4). So I know all about setting the registry.dat, virtual directory for the icons etc. I have setup the environment correctly (unless some fat finger typing has gotten in the way).
When I load a form in a web browser and I watch the status bar on the bottom of the broweser ( IE6 or IE7) I can see that it loads the GIF's (fortunately my server is just slow enought that I see the "loading .....xyz.gif" statements for my GIF icons.
What happens is that none of the icons display on the buttons. Of course when I run the form in the IDE the icons display as expected.
Has anyone run into this problem before and if what was the solution?
TIA,

1. The image files cannot be found or are not accessible. Just because you see something on the client that says "Loading..." does not necessarily mean it was found. Check the HTTP Server error_log. If you see HTTP 404 errors you have an access or virtual path problem.
Answer: No HTTP 404 Errors (no errors at all). FYI, Files are located in D:\icons (W2K server) and the Security is set to "Everyone" with Full Access/Control. The AS has "D:\icons" mapped to /icons and Registry.dat has the path set to /icons.
2. You are using an image format that isn't supported. For example, Forms supports GIF files, but not GIF files with transparent backgrounds. Also, Forms does not support most of the compression formats associated with GIF and JPG. Test with an image that you know will work. For example the OTN Logo on this page. Right click on the image and choose Save Picture As.... or:
http://www.oracle.com/admin/images/otn/otn_logo_small.gif
Actually, you should be able to simply put the entire URL above into the image filename field on the Property Palette for any Iconic button large enough to hold it.
I pretty sure this works in 10.1.2, not so sure about 904
Answer: You'll probably say this is not good enough, but the images work in the IDE, therefore I conclude that they should work on the AS (i.e. size and display type are correct/supported). I did not have a button that was big enough for the Oracle logo, hence I did not try it.
3. The image size is too large for the button.
Answer: see answer above.
4. References to images are case sensitive. It is recommended that your image files (in the file system) use all lower case letters, including the extension. The reference in the form should also be lower case.
Answer: all image names in the property pallet are lower case and the actual file names are lower case (as shown in Windows Explorer).
With regard to the other post about icon names ending a list of specific characters, some do and some don't, but ALL my icons are NOT displaying.
Lastly, these exact same icons have worked in the past (who does not reuse icons?).

Group Tree issue, web form vs Win form?

Using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010...
I am using the same report file for a Win form and web form version of the same utility program. The report was built bases on a view to the database, and both programs populate the report based on a dataset which has the same columns with restrictive where clauses, based on user input prior to populating the report.
On the Win Form version, when the user clicks a group on the Group Tree, the report nicely navigates to the appropriate section of the report. However... on the Web version, the ReportViewer makes a return trip to the database, refreshing the data with the entire view, overwriting the original content. In other words, out of lets say 50,000 possible records, if I ask for 50, they are displayed as I want, but in the web report, if I try and navigate to any of the 50, I get all 50,000 (an no navigation), an unwanted return to the database.
I am perplexed, as it is the same report file used by both versions.
I tried hiding the Group Tree panel (I don't need it), per instructions (CrystalReportViewer1.ToolPanelView = ToolPanelViewType.None;)
But that only closes the panel, and it is still available to the user to open (icon remaining). Is it possible to really make the Group Tree unavailable?
thanks,
Mark

Ludek,
What I wish to do is follow the instructions for placing the report in a session, per your suggestions above:
     Place the report in session. See
     KBA 1985571 - How to use sessions in web applications using the Crystal Reports viewer (the complete code)
OK, since I'm new at this, where does the code go? I can't seem to resolve RAPPBasePage, and I admit that without more specific directions on the linked page, I'm more than a bit lost with this.
Thanks,
Mark
Below is a complete code that describes how to ensure the report is in
session:
public partial class Reports : RAPPBasePage
      private ReportDocument crReportDocument;
      protected override void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
           //connect method to master event
           base.Page_Init(sender, e);

Hi!
For forms 6i client/server just create a shortcut for your application like:
%forms_home%\bin\ifrun60.exe your_formand set the working path to your forms folder.
For web forms create a shortcut with the url to your server/pc like this:
http://pcname:port/forms/frmservlet?config=your_configand create a config entry in your %forms_home%/forms/server/formsweb.cfg
for setting the modulename (fmx) and the working path for your application.

Can you include a web form on a product page?

Hello,
We are looking for a solution that lets our customers buy a sponsorship for an event (for example, a golf tournament) (this would be like buying a product) and then enter additional information (for example, the team caption name, team names and emails, tee time) (this would be like entering information in a web form).
Here is a form we are trying to reproduce: http://secure.skyhighshoot.org/louisiana-events/lafayette/course-sponsor.html
Please let me know if this is possible to do in BC. I've worked with web apps and forms but I'm not sure how to combine the two.
Thanks,
Kris

You cannot set a Home Page in Safari but if you save your favorite bookmark to the home screen, you can use that to open the browser on iPhone.
To do this:
Open Safari and open the page you want for the "Home Page".
Tap the "+" at the bottom of the screen and select "Save to Home Screen"
You can then name it whatever you wish and tap Save.
This will create an icon on the home screen that you can tap on to always open Safari to that page.

Is it possible to see who has saved progress on a web form, but not submitted?

We are using FormsCentral for our application process, and we are allowing applicants to save forms. Is it possible to see who has started a web form, and saved it, but hasn't submitted yet? Maybe by cc'ing the email notificiation they get to an admin?
We'd like to see who is working on the applications, and also to send them a reminder that they need to complete and submit the form by the deadline.

Hi;
No, there isn't a way for you to see anything about who has saved progress.
Thanks,
Josh

How do I use the vector web forms??

I'm new to using vector graphics and need to know how to go about using these web forms using Illistrator to make it functional on a web site. I tried opening it with the Illustrator, Fireworks, but not sure how to get the white fields to actually work like a text field. Hotpot will only link to another page which I don't want. I want the user to be able to enter their email address or whatever info is required then be able to submit. Please help!

That graphic is for making a wireframe/design. It cannot offer any real form functionality.
To create a form with that appearance, you will need to wrestle with HTML, CSS, and your choice of scripting languages to process the input.
