Re: Strange WebForms error, strange Oracle answer - baffled!

I phoned Oracle WWS on friday about some web form issues and I too was told that no browsers are currently certified.

I haven't yet got Netscape to work at all - hash errors on the JAR files - I have tried various patches to the java components of Netscape, but so far no luck.

Microdaft IE 4.0 fails miserably as they have deviated from the Java standard, which gives an error in MessageBeep - oracle prob# 1011476.7 - for which the oracle fix is to add 'quiet=yes' as a parameter to the call to forms. This fix doesn't appear to work when one form calls another via call_form() - if the parameter is not added to the call_form() call you can get the same Java error and if it is added the call fails as 'quiet' is not a parameter to the form that you are calling ! Someone reaaly should sue Microdaft about deviating from the Java standard security model like this :)

FWIW I've been testing with the freeware 'Xitami' server on NT4.0 and it all seems OK for static html.
