View Full Version : Oracle 10g forms problem; "run form" only produces text in temp .htm file

Guest

I just installed Oracle 10g developer tools on an XP Pro machine.
Everything connects OK. When I use the data block and canvas wizards,
the database tables appear and everything seems to work fine. However,
when I try to do the "run form", a new browser window pops up with text
rather than an Oracle form.

The URL is: C:\Documents and Settings\BMcLaughlin\Local
Settings\Temp\s1c0.9htm

Here is the text from the window:

<html> <head> ORACLE FORMS.</head>
<body onload="document.pform.submit();" >
<form name="pform" action="http://scooby:8889/forms90/f90servlet"
method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="form"
value="E:\Users\BMcLaughlin\OracleForms\current_temperature.fmx">
<input type="hidden" name="userid"
value="BMCLAUGHLIN/xijui823696j@db1">
<input type="hidden" name="obr" value="yes">
<input type="hidden" name="array" value="YES">
</form> </body></html>

I have no clue what is going on at this point. Has anyone else run into
this?

Thanks.
Bill

i experienced the same problem, but was not able to explain or resolve why
forms is causing the problem

but if you look closely at the url you'll see the extension on the temp file
is malformed '.9htm' instestead of '.htm', so the browser interprets the
file as a text file instead of an HTML file

AFAIR, refreshing the browser window will display the file correctly

Thanks. Actually, refreshing the browser still pulls up the same
problem but if I take out the "9" or whatever bogus number appears, I
get the correct page. Also, it never happens on the first time. That
is, if I exit Oracle Forms and go back in, the first one always works.
But if I make a modification and then do another execute form, I get
the text again.

Not a big deal really-- at least I can just keep taking the number out.
It's just an annoyance.
