WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT doesn't work on XP SP2

I have come to realise that the command WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT works on Windows 2000, but not on Windows XP SP2. I have just finished reading a lengthy document by Oracle about running reports from a form, but they don't say what to do about this problem, or even acknowledge that there is a problem. I have found a way around it, but it's a real pain in the butt.... Can anyone advise me on how to get WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT to work properly on XP? When I run the command, I get no error, but nothing happens. It's the same at home and at college, and we all use XP SP2.
thx

The problems you are experiencing have little to do with the Oracle product. They are the result of security changes put in place by Microsoft. In short, only common net protocols can be assured to work with Forms WEB.SHOW calls. For example: HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, etc. You can no longer use JAVASCRIPT, FILE, etc. If you want to gain access to resources on the client machine you will need to add a signed Java Bean to your form. If you don't know how to write Java code, you can use WebUtil (downloadable from OTN):

How can I activate an old version of Photoshop that I've loaded on my new tablet? The web activation doesn't work, and when I call the number, it says it's not being used anymore. Meanwhile, I'm down to 13 days till it stops working due to not being activated. HELP? I really need to continue using this product for my home business.It works fine not activated but the threat is that it will stop working in 13 more days if I don't get it activated, and none of the activation methods they list seem to work.

The new serial number is to the right of your chosen download.

Smart Web Printing doesn't work in IE9

Smart Web Printing doesn't work in IE9...
This question was solved.

IE9 has not yet been released in final form, it is still in Beta. I do not know if HP has any plans to support the Web Printing application on IE9, but if they do I would not expect them to release anything before the official IE9 release.

Link To Web Gallery doesn't work

I created a password protected web gallery in Aperture, but when it has completed uploading, the URL to the gallery doesn't work, it never loads in Safari. When I go to My Gallery home page I see the icon for the gallery with the lock as it should be but when I click on it, I get the message " that access for this gallery is restricted and to contact the owner of the gallery" instead of asking me for the password.
If a gallery is not password protected it shows up just fine. Am I missing something? Why doesn't the url for a password protected gallery work.

Just as a note, it works fine in Firefox. It seems to be an issue with Safari and .Mac.

Web.Show_Document does not work with long running reports

I am using Web.Show_Document() to call reports from Forms. Everything works fine for smaller reports. However for long running reports I do not get the output instead get the page "This page cannot be displayed.". On checking the job status on the report server I find that report is still running and completes after some time but by that time my http request has already timed out. What configuration do I have to change to make my long running reports work.
Thanks

So, looks like this is an IE issue. I need to add the form server site to my list of Trusted Sites. Once I did that, everything started to work fine. Thought I'd share in case anyone is really interested.....

Simple question: calling URL link with WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT is not working

Hi folks,
this should be an easy question, but I have no idea why it's not working :-(.
In one of my form, I would like to place an URL link behing button.
For this purpose I'm using below code:
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://www.google.com','_blank');But when above code is executed, nothing happens :-(.
Could it be because I'm using it within modal type of window?
Thanks,
Tomas
I'm using Oracle Forms 10g

have you checked with using self instead of blank to see if it will replace your current page with the one you are tyring to call?
Have you got any other firefox plugins running such as Ad block? can you try disabaling all addons and even the internal pop-up blocker jus to see if this will work?
if self works but blank does not how about having the main app called from a multi frame page. one frame with the app in and the other frame with some javascript that can be called to open a new window? dont know if that will work and its late so probably not thought it thorugh fully :)

Views dropdown on list view web part doesn't work

Thank you very much beforehand for any help with this issue, I really can't figure out what is going on.
So, I have big list (36125 items and about 25 public views there) and view selector on list view web part just stopped respond there couple of days ago. You click on down arrow and nothing happens... There are no any java script errors in browser console,
there are no any errors in ULS log. Profiler shows that request even is not sent to server when you click it to get list of views.
At the same time, this web-part works correctly with other lists on this site.
Do you have any ideas?

Hi,
I understand that the view drop down doesn’t work for a specific list. Can you browse these publish views by manually change the view name in the URL? There are two view drop downs in the ribbon(one under the List tab and one under the browser tab). Are
they all not working?
It is a big list, you need to make sure that there are no more than 5000 items in a single view. Only 8 lookups can be added to a view at the same time. You need to make sure that these thresholds.
For more information about these thresholds, please refer to this site:
Manage lists and libraries with many items:

Web Interface doesn't work after installing 11g

A couple days ago I decided to install Oracle 11g (after already having 10g Express Edition), after successfully installing 11g, I tried to access 10g EE using http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/apex, and it doesn't work anymore. I tried using a java program with Netbeans that connects to my 10g Database and there's connection with no problems and I can upload/download data with no problems, I just can't access the web interface.
Thanks in advance.

Web Gallery - Upload from web page doesn't work

I've created a web gallery with upload permissions set, no name or password, and none of my friends or relatives can get anything to successfully upload.
I'm using iPhoto 8 version 7.0.2 (341) to build my web gallery, but uploading for others just doesn't work. They get the dialog to enter their name and email, they can choose images, they get the progress window, then nothing. I've deleted the gallery and rebuilt it, I've renamed it, I've looked in my _gallery folders on iDisk, and so no, ad nauseum, ad infinitum.
Anybody know what's up with the Gallery?

I've not used the upload but some have reported that it does not work BUT that uploading via e-mail does work -- give the e-mail route a try as a work around and report the problem to Apple -- iPhoto menu ==> Provide iPhoto Feedback

WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT does not work on local drive

Hi.
I have used WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT in the past. I have a situation where I can do the following web.show_document('file://p:\some-directory\foo.txt'). However, as soon as I try to read something off my local hard drive web.show_document('file://c:\some-directory\foo.txt') it does not work. This is very frustrating. There is nothing special security wise and the path and file names are correct. If it works for one, it should work for the other.
Thanks,
BradW

(unbelievable) gmail tasks (web app) doesn't work on 10.2.429 browser

Google provides Tasks as web app
http://mail.google.com/mail/help/tasks/
here https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/128061?p=tasks&rd=1 they say to test if your device is xhtml compatible
to test if it is, they suggets to visit this link from the mobile device
Minimum requirements
These are the minimum requirements to access Tasks for mobile web browsers:
Your browser needs to be XHTML compliant. To determine whether your browser is compatible, visit http://www.google.com/xhtml and perform a search. If it doesn't work, your browser may not be XHTML compliant.
OS 10.2 allows to browse http://www.google.com/xhtml and also to perform searches, but next it fails to parse/load the tasks page
try it yourself http://gmail.com/tasks
is it google not-compliant or is it the BlackBerry OS 10.2 browser?
Thank you
Cor

Try to open the right-click context menu of the Back button and see if you can go back further.
The current active entry in that list has a bullet in front of it.
If you hover an entry in that session history list then it shows the direction by adding an arrow at the left.
You can left click an item to open it in the current tab or middle-click or Ctrl left-click an entry in that list to open that link in new tab, just like you can with other links.

QT Pro Export for Web--poster doesn't work in Firefox or IE, only Safari

Hi QuickTime gurus (within Apple and in the 'real world
I had thought that when you Export for Web in QuickTime Player Pro, the 'poster' movie would display in all browsers, on Mac and Windows.
Unfortunately, the poster does NOT work in Firefox (neither Mac nor Windows) nor in IE. It only works in Safari.
See this example - http://www.wellesley.edu/~kenny/a.html
Am I doing something wrong, or is there something wrong with the JavaScript such that it doesn't work in all browsers, or....?
Thanks...k

Ok here try this:
http://setfreedenver.org/a/readme.html
And here's the zip file for the above.
http://setfreedenver.org/a.zip
You should have four files in the folder that makes everything for the video in the html:
video.m4v This is the actual video that plays.
video.mov This is the referance video that points to video.m4v
poster.jpg This is the poster frame.
html.html This is the html for the above video to play in.
Move one of the above to somewhere else and it will break the video playing in the html.
Sidebar:
I couldn't get this to work on my server. I had to go to my server control panel (somewhere out there in Texas) and make a MIME Type setting for the .m4v, so the video could play. Not all servers are setup to play different kinds of videos, documents or images. So, if you ever run across something that plays locally on your computer and not on your sever and your at your wits end.. Contact you server administrator and have them check the MINE setting on the server.
