Today I discovered that Firefox crashes when I started up an Oracle Forms application using JInitiator. One thing I noticed that two JVM's were started (two icons showed up in the taskbar). After switching off Java inside Firefox (via Tools->Options->Content) everything works fine. So no need for IE anymore...
In my previous post I blogged about pushing changed rows from the dabatase into an Interactive Grid. The use case I'll cover right here is probably more common - and therefore more useful!
Until we had the IG, we showed the data in a report (Interactive or Classic). Changes to the data where made by popping up a form page, making changes, saving and refreshing the report upon closing the dialog. Or by clicking an icon / button / link in your report that makes some changes to the data (like changing a status) and ... refresh the report. That all works fine, but the downsides are: The whole dataset is returned from the server to the client - again and again. And if your pagination size is large, that does lead to more and more network traffic, more interpretation by the browser and more waiting time for the end user.The "current record" might be out of focus after the refresh, especially by larger pagination sizes, as the first rows will be shown. Or (even worse) while you…

i am vista user. can u tell me i can i make my PC work for Oracle application without useing JInitiator

JInitiator is known to not work with Vista and Sun is not planning to support 1.3 on Vista. Oracle therefore have no plans to certify JInitiator with Vista.Vista users should be steered towards Sun's plug-in 1.5 once it is certified. That is planned for 10.1.2.3.
So you should try using Suns JVM instead of JInitiator (I didn't try it yet, because I don't have Vista).

You have to modify the formsweb.cfg file. See this for the details.

I Managed to get JVM to work for Vista by editing formsweb.cfg and change the settings of the forms server to auto download the correct plugins. My article is in dutch, you can read it here. Fot the non-dutch readers: at the bottom of the document there are some links to english articles.
Good luck!
