Closing the browser windows created by web.show_document and javascript

From Forms I am issuing a http request using web.show_document and javascript:window.open(). The http request makes a remote procedure call to a coldfusion component on a JRun appserver. I want this rpc to fire in the background so that the current forms browser window remains as is.
The logic is as follows
l_rpcURL := 'http://....just a standard URL.....'; -- edited for this thread
l_jsURL := 'javascript:window.open("' || l_rpcURL || '","","fullscreen=no,titlebar=no,location=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,status=no,resizable=no");self.close();';
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT (l_jsURL,'_blank');
The http request works fine but leaves a browser window behind. It's the one created by the javascript.window.open(). If I remove the self.close() from the javascript then I have two browser windows open, one from web.show_document and the other, as described previously, from the window.open().
Any idea how I can force closure of the window opened by the window.open() ?
Thanks

Hi,
did this occured afer installing service pack 2?
A work around is The only solution that is to create a close.html file and calling this file in the code: Web.show_document('http://server:port/close.html','_self');
<html>
<body onload="closeit()">
<script>
window.close();
</script>
</body>

Problem when using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT and passing in lexical parameter

Hi,
I got a blank page with error "An error has occured while trying to use this document" when I tried to use web.show_document and passing a lexical parameter to 10g report on 10gAS. The URL in the web.show_document is:
http://<srvname>:<portnum>/reports/rwservlet?server=repserver90&report=myrpt.rdf&destype=Cache&desformat=pdf&userid=<usr>/<pw>@<db>&where_clause=where%20product_type%20in%20('REPORT')
If I change the desformat to htmlcss, it is fine to display the report. But doesn't work with desformat=pdf. The pdf file has been generated in the cache. Why can't it display on the screen.
Also I tried to use double quote the value for where_clause. The pdf report showed up. But it ignored the where clause.
Experts please help.
Ying

I use lexical parameters and they work fine, but I use a parameter list. The code is contained in a form that is called by all forms that wish to run a report. This way you only need the logic for printing in a single form. If you want the form, email me at [email protected]

It is very annoying when I am at a favourite web site and Firefox will not automatically redirect to another page. It is so continuous and I have to "Allow" through the whole time I am at my favourite web sites

# Question
It is very annoying when I am at a favourite web site and Firefox will not automatically redirect to another page. It is so continuous and I have to "Allow" through the whole time I am at my favourite web sites.
Here is one of those sites:
http://conservatives4palin.com/

You can make it automatically redirect by doing this:
1. Go to: Tools > Options > Advanced > General
2. Untick the 'Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page' option
3. Click 'OK'

Can I use Safari as my main web browser and Firefox when Safari isn't supported?

Can I use Safari as my main web browser and Firefox when Safari isn't supported?

www.apple.com/support/safari
Also use the User Agent and see if that works on those sitess.
Safari keeps a lot of web history and cache on disk and it tends to be RAM hungry (even FF has gotten a big larger on RAM footprint)
There are other browsers and sometimes Opea is a good choice or there is OmniWeb which I still after 10 yrs? still favor.

Web.Show_document and oracle session

Hi,
I am uploading a file on to Oracle Portal through web util. After this, I am calling the web.showdocument to view the uploaded file. But I am seeing only a blank page. This is the sequence flow.
1. Forms call a procedure which will create a dummy record of the document to be uploaded. This insert is happening as an autonomous transaction.
2. The Forms call webutil and uploads the document
3. Then I am calling web.show_document to view the document. The browser is opening an empty page. But once I did an explicit commit, I can open and view the document successfully in the same way.
I am using '_blank' option.
So, what I infer from this is that web.show_document opens the browser with a new oracle session by passing authentication details internally. Is there any way view the document without doing an explicit commit?
Thank you.
Warm Regards,
Raja.

Troubles with web.show_document and internet explorer

Hi folks, this is my problem
I generate a text file on forms and then I use this to open the document in a new window
web.show_document( nome_ver_, '_BLANK' );where nome_ver_ is a variable with the url
Using mozila firefox this run fines and a new window is open and everything goes right.
But in some machines with the internet explorer the new window appear and then close in milliseconds. I try different's versions of IE on the machine and still have the problem...
Anyone see this bug?
I try to disabled everything on secure on IE and still nothing...
Sorry for my bad english and thanks in advance
Luis

You are generating a text file you say. Is it a pure text file? Or is it html that you wnt the user to view in the browser?
In what versions of IE is this happening in?

Web.show_document and File Save As

Hello,
I have a Perl CGI scrfipt on the server that I can call from a web brwoser. Its purpose is do save a file passed in to any locatgion on the PC.
In the borowser I can use:
http://devpong/cgi-bin/cap/savefile.cgi?dirpath=/capexp/to_SGP&fname=ZU060920.C78
and I get a Save As dialog and it is written to that directory. Works very well.
This is the Perl CGI code:
use CGI ':standard';
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
my @fileholder;
my ($web_keys)= ["dirpath", "fname", "mode"];
my ($Param) = get_params($Param, $web_keys);
# print_head($Param);
# redirectwindow($Param);
open(DLFILE, "$Param->{dirpath}/$Param->{fname}") || Error('open', 'file');
@fileholder = <DLFILE>;
close (DLFILE) || Error ('close', 'file');
print "Content-Type:application/x-download\n";
print "Content-Disposition:attachment;filename=$Param->{fname}\n\n";
print @fileholder;
I want to do the same thing from the Forms 6i application. In web.show_document I put in the exact same URL that works stand alone in the browser and have tried all of the seceond argument setting (_BLANK, etc.). Just for a millisecond a window opens then immidately closes. I have included a raise FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE in the trigger to make it wait, but to no avail.
I found a document that said if a URL works in the browser, it will work in web.show_document. That is not true for me.
Do I need to build an html page first to open in the borwser from web.show_document?
Does webutil_file have the ability to let the user choose the destination directory?
What we did in the past was to make sure the file extension was not in the registry of the PC. Then the browser would force a Save As dialog. With XP SP2 this does not work without making several changes to the file types.
That is why I would like a solution that does not rely on file type set up.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Well, it sounds like you want the server to tell the client that this content shouldn't be read from cache...
Among the posible solutions:
Apache can be configurated with modules like 'mod_expires' and 'mod_headers'.
Or, you could write a JSP file that sets the appropriate http headers and streams your file accordingly. The http headers I think you're interested in:
- cache-control (to prevent client caching)
- content-disposition (to set the filename of the download)

Calling a report with web.show_document and put pdf in temp directory

Hi,
I need to call a report 10g with web.show_document in order to generate a .pfd file (not viewed by the user) as soon as the user press a button in a form.
I have two problems. Firstly, after generate .pdf, it's opened a undesirable windows "process succefully" (I don't want that window). Secondly, in url parameter, I put:
(...)DESTYPE=File&DESFORMAT=pdf&DESNAME=' || client_win_api.get_temp_directory
the target directory to .pdf file might be the user temporary directory, and not c:\temp, because in Windows XP the user haven't some writing privileges.
How there is spaces in temporary directory, like:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Configurations\Temp
I supose that Get_temp_directory returns something that:
C:\Documen~1\<user>\Local~1\Temp
And web.show_document don't understand.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks a lot,
medina.

Hi Maahjoor,
i have install windows xp on vmware having loop back adapter configure with ip 192.168.10.1.i am using oracle developer 10g suite and oracle 10g r2 database.
i want to call a report using the following code on a button.i have attached the report to the form.
i have started the report server by issuing rwserver server=repsrv.
DECLARE
repid REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
rep_status varchar2(20);
BEGIN
repid := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('ALL_EXPENSES');
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
rep_status := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(v_rep);
WHILE rep_status IN ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED')
LOOP
rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(v_rep);
END LOOP;
IF rep_status = 'FINISHED' THEN
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://192.168.10.1:8889/reports/rwservlet'||substr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1||'?'||'server=repsrv','_blank');
ELSE
Message('Error when running report');
END IF;
end;now when i run the command, i get this error
frm-41214: unable to run the report
frm-41219: cannot find the report.invalid id.
argument 1 to builtin run_report_object acnnot be null.
i thin the problem is with this line. WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://192.168.10.1:8889/reports/rwservlet'||substr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1||'?'||'server=repsrv','_blank');
can anyone help? or a better piece of code?>
I think you are mixing up the web.show_document usage for URL and with RUN_REPORT_OBJECT.
I hope you have studied this document http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/products/migration/frm10gsrw10g-132606.pdf . It has the required examples and code.

Web.Show_Document and Shared Directories

Hello,
I want to use web.show_document to access a shared folder on a machine.
Whenever I issues the web.show_document to \\workstation\folder\ the browser appends \\workstation\folder\ to the end of the application server URL (eg: http://appserver/servlet///workstation/folder/). Is there any way around this problem?
Thanks,

Java Web Start and Firefox

Hello!
I want to use some java web start applications, which are started directly by clicking a link. My browser (firefox) doesn't know the java web start mime type (*.jnlp). Because of that I can only download the specific JNLP-File instead of executing this file to start the java app.
There is no jnlp mime type in the firefox section Edit-->Preferences --> Application and I can't add a new mime type because there is no funkction to did that job.
I have installed the jre and the jdk package. In firefox Tools --> Addons there is the plugin "Java Plug-in 1.6.0_19" listed.
Has anybody an idea, who to add the jnlp mime type in firefox?
Thanks for help!
Best regards,
Flasher

Maybe this can help you.

I use Go Daddy Web Mail and FireFox may be preventing me from being able to put text into the subject line when composing an email.

As the question / statement says, When in Firefox, once I've started my webmail application through Go Daddy, I can compose an entire email filling out all the required info. But, when I put the mouse over the 'Subject Line' and click, no cursor appears.
Having walked through this with Go Daddy, they are convinced that it's FireFox because we opened up their webmail with 2 other browsers and both allowed me to plug in a subject line.

Web Pages and Firefox

Hi
I have set up a webpage www.time-to-unwind.co.uk and when I view it in Firefox, all the text has strikethrough - in IE all is OK. I had this issues a couple of years ago and fixed it, but could not remember how - it was to do with borders or cells I think. I am running Dreamweaver 6.1 in Windows 7 Ultimate.
Thanks

Get the Firebug extension for Firefox
http://getfirebug.com/
It'll show you that the cause is the line-through property in the text-decoration attribute on the <body> tag in
http://www.time-to-unwind.co.uk/styles/page_styles.css
body {
font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
background-attachment: scroll;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
color: #000000;
text-decoration: underline line-through;

WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT don´t start Firefox 3.5

Hi @all,
I want to call a report through Forms per web.show_document but Firefox don´t start. The URL is correct (I´ve tested it). I tried also to disable the Popup-Blocker but this didn´t solve the problem, too.
I call the fmx with a JNLP File.
There is no other browser installed on my system.
Are there any other settings in the browser (or maybe in the OS (WinXPPro SP3)) which could be responsible for this problem.
Thanks for your suggestions.
Thomas

Hi,
no, I run my forms in a Java Virtual Machine ( I start it with a JNLP-File) not directly in a browser. Adobe 9 is installed. In "showmyjobs" there are no report jobs listed, because the browser don´t start and try to open the report. When I copy manually the URL (which should call the report) from web.show_document into the browser the report starts. There is no problem in calling the report.
The problem is that web.show_document don´t start the browser or if the browser is already open a new tab to call the URL which I have written in web.show_document.
e.g.
web.show_document('http://www.google.de'. '_blank') should call google in a new browser tab or, if the browser is not opened already, in a new browser. But in my case the browser don´t start or don´t start a new tab page. This problem occurs in IE and in Firefox.
I use JDK 6 Update 16 and Forms works fine with that version.
I´ll try it tomorrow with another Java Version but I don´t think that this solve the problem.
Thomas
