URL show password when calling a new form

Question

Forms 10.1.2.0.2
Java 6.22
Windows XP
FireFox 4.0 and IE 8.0
Hi. When calling another form from within an existing form the new form shows the URL I'm calling, but also includes the parameters I'm passing which happen to include my username and password. Like this:
http://9.35.32.205:7777/forms/frmservlet?pageTitle=Dropper%20E/M&config=TTMSMENU&form=dropper_em&userid=MYUSER/MYPASS@SPARC20
{code)
Is there anyway to suppress the display of the URL or the parameters?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

Answer 1

You said:
...When calling another form from within an existing form... Are you calling another form from an already open form using WEB.SHOW? If so, why? There are probably more reasons why you should not do this than the number of reasons to do this. Most importantly is that by opening a new browser to launch another Forms instance, you increase the resource usage on the client, thereby degrading performance.
Why not use CALL_FORM, OPEN_FORM, or NEW_FORM? With any of these, the next form to open will display in the same browser and no login will be required since the user has already logged in at the first form. If the goal is to achieve multiple instances of the same "first" form, well for security sake, I would recommend the user log in manually each time anyway.
