Running form within the browser

Is it possible to run a form using the JInitiator and Application Server within the browser window instead of the form creating its own work area outside of the browser? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bucky

Hi
Set the separateFrame parameter to false.
This can be done by supplying parameters directly in the URL or in a form specific section in the formsweb.cfg file

Running forms within Browser, not as applet

I am running Developer/2000 Form Builder for Windows 95 / NT and application server 4.0.7 using the JInitiator. I want to run my form within the browser
window and not as an applet. I already tried the separate frame=false property in the html source, but that did not work for me. I would
appreciate any assistance.
Thanks,
Bucky

Forms 4.5 only ran outside the browser.
Forms 6i can run in the browser.
check out the first demo at
http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/products/forms/content.html
to see how it looks.
You should upgrade to the newer versions of forms if you are planning to run on the web since there were many improvments in those versions for Web deployed forms.

FireFox 3.6 and Adobe Reader X. Reader X PDFs opened within the browser contain links, which do not work. Anyone got clues on why the links fail and how to fix?

When we rolled out ReaderX and AcrobatX we uncheck the Diaply PDF in Browser window. OK with IE, but ignored in FireFox (3.6.16). We can live with that except the PDFs have links to other URLs and clicking on them is ignored. Same PDF opened outside the browser the links work fine. FireFox with Reader 9.4.0 no problem. Reader X with IE no problem. I can fix the Display in Browser with a change to firefox.js, but have not figured out how to fix the links when the PDF is displayed within the browser.

My replies are in Bold.
Thank you for your response and message.
1. Are you seeing this problem with all kinds of PDF's or some specific kinds like secure PDF's (with doc open password or printing restrcitions), reader extended PDF's or PDF forms.
This problem is with all kind's of PDF's.
2. Are you opening a locally saved PDF by doing a drag drop in the browser or right click and open with IE/FF or directly opening a PDF hosted on the internet?
It doesn't matter. However I do it, I see this problem in Firefox, IE & Google Chrome.
3. Can you also check the version of the Reader X browser plugin? you could find it at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX\AcroPDF.dll. Right click -> Properties -> Details
If version is 9.0.x then you could try a clean install of Reader X.
I have checked it. It's the latest plug-in (though at the moment, I have gone back to Adobe Reader 9.4.1, as I've mentioned before, because I need the reader to be working fine for my work and daily life. I am just waiting for a fix before I try Adobe Reader X again.
As I've mentioned before, I am seeing this issue ONLY on my Windows 7 Ultimate (Laptop). In the desktop's at work, with Windows XP / Vista, I don't see it. Adobe Reader is working fine, browser integration is fine, the floating tool bar works fine, the right click menu pop' up where the right click is done...I can also save PDF' from the main toolbar at the top and so on...
I really have run out of ideas.... and I am very surprised that no expert support personnel (if at all there is one) have dropped by or said anything or mentioned anything about this.
Anyway.... Cheers.

How to get absolute path of a form within the Forms

Aslam o Alikum (Hi)
How to get absolute path of a form within the Forms 6i or 9i
For example
i am running a from "abc.fmx" from C:\myfolder directory
can i get the form path 'C:\myfolder' by calling any any function from "abc.fmb"

There is no direct call that will always work. What you need to do is call get_application_property(current_form). This may have the full path in it, depending on if that path was defined when the form was launched. If there is no path, then you need to use TOOL_ENV.GETVAR to read the Forms<nn>PATH and the ORACLEPATH, parse those out into individual directories and then check for the FMX in each.
I already have some code to do all this for you see:

Why can't Firefox still not show a pdf properly from within the browser and do we need insufficient and not working add-ons?

I never succeeded to show a pdf properly in the Firefox browser.
There is an add-on, but the add-on itself tells you already in most cases that you should download the pdf because it can't show the pdf properly. I can't understand why that is! It makes my live much more complicated, since we have an application running that constantly should be able to show pdf's from within the browser.

The add-on you are talking about is pdf.js. pdf.js does it best to show you what the pdf's it is given are, but pdf.js is not 100% compatible with all elements that can be put inside a pdf. Another problem pdf.js faces is that many pdf's generated with proprietary software either do not conform to the pdf spec or use proprieatary elements that only pdf readers that the company has designed or partnered with can interpret. I promise you Mozilla doesn't want your life to be any more complicated than it is but sometimes it is simply not possible for pdf.js to read a document when the manufacturer of the program that generated the pdf doesn't play by the rules.

How easy is it to create a new add on? I would like to see tabbed display within the browser on FF24 on Android 4.2 – as per desktop FF

Please excuse this if it's a noob Q – I am, indeed, completely new to Android. Tabbed display appears to have been possible on previous versions of FF for Android via several add ons but unfortunately no more. Display of each open tab within the browser – rather than the current arrangement with just the number in the corner – is still possible with FF desktop and also features in Chrome, Opera and Dolphin for Android. I would prefer not to use these other mobile browsers as FF outperforms them but I do need tabbed display to allow for PDF docs to open – using the PDF viewer add on – alongside their initiating webpage. Any ideas? Is it difficult to create an add on? What is the process? Is one in the pipeline? Many thanks in advance for any help or guidance you can offer...

Many thanks for your reply, Waka – guess you're right that it's a new add on or bust... I still find it odd that such a common UI feature across mobile browsers is unavailable in FF24 either as an option under settings or as an add-on. Surely, I'm not the only person who finds this puzzling?

Program is not sending emails if I run it within the process chain

Hi All,
I am facing a weird issue; I have an ABAP program which compares tables and sends the results in an email. It is working fine if I run it standalone. However, if I run it within the process chain it still runs but doesn't send the email.
Any idea on how to troubleshoot this?
Thanks

maybe because it's ran under a different user (ALEREMOTE)?
the user that executes the "mail" needs a valid emailaddress to be able to send...

How to run form in the background from command line

please can anybody tell me to

Ummm....Oracle Forms is a foreground runtime kind of thing. What you want is a database procedure (or an OS utility - it depends on what sort of processing you want to do in the background).

DEV 6.0 team : Help req while running forms on the WEB

I am using Windows NT 4.0 with Service pack 3 running Oracle8
8.0.5 with Apps Server 4.0.7 and Dev6.0. I have been able to run
Forms on the web and with Jinitiator and with out Jinitiator but
there are a few problems
1 ) The Tigger " When Mouse Click" does not fires on the web for
a display item.
2) when i set the CLASSPATH=E:\orant\forms60\java for forms the
tree in OAS 4.0.7 stops showing and if i remove it from there
then i am not able to run the forms for web through the forms
designer
3) the performnce is very slow how to improve the performance on
Web with jinitiator.
an early response would be appreciated

I can only speculate on some of your issues, but maybe they
might give you some insight on possible alternatives.
Mouse-Click on Display Item
The display item does not, by definition allow modification.
Have you tried changing the item to text and then disabling the
INSERT and UPDATE properties to NO? I have tried using display
items in the past, resulting in a grayed-out box on the web. To
get around this, I made the above changes and created a mouse
trigger to jump to another field when someone tried to mouse-
click on it.
Changing CLASSPATH on OAS 4.0.7
I had the same results. The OAS installation sets the CLASSPATH
to what it needs and changing it has the results you describe.
I am curious, however, are you able to view the form from the
Developer Forms Designer using the other CLASSPATH. I have not
been able to use this feature at all. I read somewhere that
this functionality is not available in the beta version. I
would appreciate any information that you can share.
Jinitiator Performance
Assuming that you have already tried cache settings and short of
the users having faster machines with more memory, faster web
access, etc. I don't think there is much we can do but wait for
Oracle and Sun to make enhancements.
I have had some success with using IE 5.0 (beta) directly
without the Jinitiator. My web applications load and run a
whole lot faster using the same configuration that you describe.
It might be worth another look!
Hope this helps.

Interacrive forms within the SAP GUI

Hello
I want to work with interactive forms within the SAP GUI, with ABAP.
I've managed to display a generated PDF in an ABAP screen, with CL_GUI_HTML_VIEWER, using the method LOAD_DATA. The problem now is getting the filled data out of the form. Is there any standard way of doing it? (getting the data without saving the file)
I've thought of some ways, such as getting the filled file somehow as a binary file, or handling the document's Submit button, but I haven't managed to get any of them to work.
Is there any way to make it work, or use the different PDF classes to do it..
Thanks

I removed chrome 10 and newly installed FF4 final, and I can't read PDF files within the browser. There was no problem in Chrome.

I removed chrome 10 and newly installed FF4 final, and I can't read PDF files within the browser. There was no problem in Chrome. I can't even see the acrobat reader plugin in the plugins page. Acrobat 10 is already installed in my PC. Every time I try to read a PDF file on the web, FF tries to download it instead.

As recommended above by Bernd Alheit, I posted this on the Adobe Reader forum. There, I received the advice to repair the installation under the help menu, which I did and it fixed the problem.
Similar to your solution but found it's a fix found under "HELP" menu and not Add/Remove.
Thank you.

Firefox installed the latest version. Now my google browser, history etc. doesn't work anymore. It doesn't respond. I can't run searches from the browser. youtube button is missing. I've tried opening firefox in safe mode but that doesn't work.

firefox installed automatically the latest version. Now my google browser, history etc. doesn't work anymore. It doesn't respond. I can't run searches from the browser. youtube button is missing. I've tried opening firefox in safe mode but that doesn't work

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

How to running a single form on the browser

Hi below is the link for deployment of our application on app server.
http://100.180.127.225:7779/forms90/f90servlet?config=abc
and this is the entries in formsweb.cfg file.
[abc]
form=G:\Oracle10gBinaries\abc\FMX\test.fmx
otherparams=prm_init_file=G:\abc.INI prm_itype=0 prm_impli_type=9W prm_debug_mode=NO
pageTitle=Heading
envFile=abc.env
separateFrame=TRUE
lookAndFeel=generic
archive_jini=f90all_jinit.jar
imagebase=codebase
Now i want to run a form named test2.fmx directly by passing the value as *test2.fmx on the browser.
what change i needs make in the formsweb file to achieve this.

Hi all thanks for ur help.
i am able to run the .fmx directly .this i have achieved by putting the .fmx in the forms90 folder and using the link.
http://100.180.127.225:7779/forms90/f90servlet?form=test2.fmx
it is working fine and showing the single form but now i want to pass a parameter
from the link to the test2.fmx directly/
when launched from the link ,test2.fmx shows all the records. as this form contains customer information so it list all the customer no.
i want to launch this form with only the customer id passed thro the link.
i am trying something like
http://100.180.127.225:7779/forms90/f90servlet?.fmx&PRM_CUST_NO=000000014
where 000000014 is the customer no.
when launch the forms it still gives all records and not this customer record.
prm_cust_no is the oracle form parameter which is defined in the form.
please suggest?
