Here is a sample form that works for me....<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>Developer/2000 for the Web</TITLE>
<!--<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" Content="80; URL=index.html"></HEAD>
//-->
</HEAD>
<BODY><BR>Please wait while the Forms Client class files download and run.
<BR>This will take a second or two... <P>
<!-- applet definition (start) -->
<APPLET CODEBASE="web_code/"
CODE="oracle.forms.uiClient.v1_4.engine.Main"
ARCHIVE="f50all.jar"
HEIGHT=20
WIDTH=20>
<PARAM NAME="serverPort"
VALUE="9999">
<PARAM NAME="serverArgs"
