Web Forms - Opening a form from a URL in an Email

Hi. I use the following URL to call an Oracle Web Form from an e-mail (Lotus Notes client e-mail on Windows XP). This works fine as is, but it is not forcing the Web Form to open in Internet Explorer. On some user's PCs it opens in FireFox - I believe this might be because Firefox has been set as their default browser. Is there anything I can add to this URL that will force it to open in Internet Explorer?
<u><a href="http://9.35.32.205:7777/forms/frmservlet?config=TTMSMENU&form=dropper_em&otherparams=p_dropper='||PPARAMETER||'">Dropper Id: '||PPARAMETER||'</a></u>Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Another option might be JavaScript:

I'm sure this won't work with every JavaScript engine...
Question is: why do you want to force your users to use Internet Explorer? My default browser is Firefox too, and I have to say I'd be pretty pissed if you'd force me to use Internet Explorer ;).
If you are having troubles configuring the JPI under Firefox you might want to read this:

InfoPath web forms from sharepoint 365 submission - question about copying senders on submit

I have set up a few InfoPath web forms. I tested including an email field when the submit is processed it will also send a copy to the email address entered in that field. I am just seeing if there are any options available for the user to
be able to open the file after the attachment is saved from the email if they don't have InfoPath on their machine? any way for them to save as a word doc, pdf etc?

Hi,
As I understand, you want to know the attachment sent with the InfoPath form email can be saved as other file types.
The attachment sent with the InfoPath form email will stored as XML files.
If there is no InfoPath installed, we can export the XML data to Excel, Access or PDF.
The article is about importing and exporting form data and form templates for your reference:

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 ())

ERROR: Your web form must capture customer name and email address.

Hi,
I keep receiving this error message when trying to checkout and submit a payment.
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.
The strange thing is it's only happening in chrome. It works perfectly in IE and firefox, the form submits and takes me to the order confirmation page. I've tested it on multiple PCs so it's definitely a chrome issue. Does anyone have any advice as to what could be causing this issue with chrome?
Thanks,
Pete

Check your eCommerce web form in the admin has the ID - 211729
This is what the form ID is, if you have deleted it and made a new one it will not Marry up
The things you normally look for with this error is The first name and last name along with email fields have the right ID and name parameters on the input. The javascript is picking those up so it looks like that is working.
So next is the form in the admin marrying up with the form on the page or in this case the Registration Buy layout.

Opening an app from an url + parameters

Is there a way to open an app from an url with parameters and read those parameters?

Now, i am using Flash pro to create my app, once packed it's tricky to mess up with the contents, is there a file i can edit, before rendering the app? for example is this something i can add in an xml file that is created in my app folder?
It starts with this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/3.4">
    <id>appID</id>
    <versionNumber>3.0</versionNumber>

Calling Web Form from Client-Server Form

Hi. I have an existing Client-Server Form (6i) still in production that needs to call a Web Form and pass it a parameter. Obviously I can't use Call Form or New Form from the client-server version, but can I somehow issue a command line (including a parameter) that opens the Web Form? Any suggestions for accomplishing this?
I can create a command line like this, but have no idea how to pass a parameter to my Web Form. The Web Form named participants which has a Parameter defined named 'p_participant'.
*"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" http://9.35.32.206:7777/forms/frmservlet?form=participants*
I can also create a command line to open a web form like this to:
*"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" http://9.35.32.205:7777/forms/html/sas2.htm*
Where the sas2.htm looks like this:
*<html>*
*<body onload="document.menulaunch.submit();">*
Launching File Generation...
If the application does not load in 30 seconds then click the button below:
*<form name=menulaunch action=http://9.35.32.205:7777/forms/frmservlet?config=FileGeneration method=post>*
*<script>*
var wshshell=new ActiveXObject("wscript.shell");
var username=wshshell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%orauser%");
var pw=wshshell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%orapass%");
document.write("<input type=hidden name=userid value="+username+"/"+pw+"@sparc20*>")*
*</script>*
*<input type=submit value=Launch>*
*</form>*
*</body>*
*</html>*
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Simply add to your URL as follows:
http://9.35.32.206:7777/forms/frmservlet?form=participants&otherparams=p_participant=<SOME VALUE>I assume you plan to use HOST to make this call. I would recommend something like this:
HOST ('cmd /c start iexplore.exe "http://9.35.32.206:7777/forms/frmservlet?form=participants&otherparams=p_participant=<SOME VALUE>"');

Invoking Web Forms from Sun Solaris Client PC

HI,
Can any one tell me whether we can invoke Web forms in Sun Solaris Client PC. If yes what is the way, either do we need to use the Netscape Navigator browser or some thing else to invoke the same.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
S.Karthick

Please post Forms questions on the Forms discussion board.
You'll need a browser (netscape will do) and a JVM (you can use Sun's Java plug-in).
More info on how to setup this configuration is here:

Autofill web forms doesn't allow choice of email address

Using a new MacBook Pro with Lion installed. I have multiple email addresses and want to use a particular one when filling out personal data on a web form. Autofill doesn't seem to allow that option. Is there a fix for this?

Well that is nice but before all I only had to enter in the first letter and I get a list starting with the first letter and usually the person I need is right there now I have to keep typing? This is not a upgrade in my opinion. IS there an option to just list starting with the first letter? IF not there should be. Is there a way to go back to the last version?
There is an old saying in engineering, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."
I get a little of programers over working a product that works great all ready don't screw with the interface unless you make it a choice for the user. Adobe does this all the time I have to relearn the interface each time a programing has a bright idea.

Opening swing application from an url

We have a swing application. If the application is already running on a machine, we kave a requirement of getting into that directly from an url which is sent in an email to the user. This would be something like google desktop does to open outlook etc from the search. What is the best way to achieve this?
Thanks in Advance

Letter Opener files removed from Library/won't allow email access

I uninstalled MacKeeper two days ago after reading that it is problematic although did not seem to be causing trouble. Now, Letter Opener (OMiC in Library/Mail) is appearing (haven't used it in at least a year & 1/2) with sign-in window before I can open Mac Mail. I have deleted all OMiC files and still cannot open Mail without LO window wanting my information. I had the free version only. Any ideas out there? I'm having to email off my ISP web page and is very cumbersome for doing business. Thak

Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
Here are some general guidelines. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
You may have to log out or reboot in order to complete an uninstallation.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.

Open a form from a 3rd party Java/Web based application

Hi All,
I am working for a client who has a 3rd party web application built in Java.
For one of his requirements, he wants to open a form, an apps standard form on the click of a button/url in their application.
This appears like a normal form opening from the single-signon screen where you have the self service single sign-on page, it opens the apps forms on click of the url. Can we use the same logic here? This being the case, just curious to know how is the url to open the form built? (I see that the function name, resp id etc are there in the url) So that, I can actually manipulate the url to open the forms from a url. Please see that the custom application also is included into our Oracle apps, so the user is already logged in. We just need to open the form from the click of a url/button.
Thanks,
Srini.
Thanks,
Srini.

If the ICX_SESSION is already available then the form(I am assuming you are refering to a web based form here) should open directly if the function should be accessible to the user logged in. When you say your custom application is included in Oracle apps are you launching these pages from the Ebiz home page through menus and functions ?

How can I add a digital download (pdf) to an autoresponder from a web form?

I have a simple web form on my site, name and email. I know how to access and edit the autoresponder email, but I dont know how to add a digital download. I want the auto responder to include a PDF. Can anyone help me with this?
G

Don't know if you've resolved this, but I would put the PDF in the Media Downloads then just add the link within the autoresponder of the form.
Hope this helps,

Use frmweb.exe to start a form from command line

Following the following doc "start any Oracle Forms component from the command line"
http://www.oracle.com/webapps/online-help/forms/10g/state/content/navId.3/navSetId._/vtTopicFile.f1_help%7Cbldr_dev_opts%7Cstart_fb_comps_cmd~html/
I tried the following two command line
D:\DevSuiteHome\BIN>frmweb module=c:\files\orders userid=scott/tiger@r12
D:\DevSuiteHome\BIN>frmbld module=c:\files\orders userid=scott/tiger@r12
The frmbld successfully brought up the forms builder and open the orders forms.
But the frmweb did not bring up anything. I wonder if there are other parameters I need to provide rather than just module and userid......
I looked into the html of the form applet, and wondering if passing all the parameters would be sufficient enough for the frmweb to start
<PARAM NAME="serverArgs"
VALUE="escapeParams=true module=c:\files\orders.fmx userid= sso_userid=%20 sso_formsid=%25OID_FORMSID%25 sso_subDN= sso_usrDN= debug=no host= port= buffer_records=no debug_messages=no array=YES obr=YES query_only=no quiet=yes render=no record= tracegroup= log= term=">
So I did this from command line, but still nothing.....
D:\DevSuiteHome\BIN>frmweb.exe escapeParams=true module=c:\files\orders.fmx userid=scott/tiger@r12 sso_userid=%20 sso_formsid=%25OID_FORMSID%25 so_subDN= sso_usrDN= debug=no host= port= buffer_records=no debug_messages=no array=YES obr=YES query_only=no quiet=yes render=no record= tracegroup= log= term=

That is a bug in the documentation. You can only start Forms from a URL starting from 9.0.2.
