Oracle Forms

Hello All,

I encounter the following strange problem when running a web deployed form:

An alert having 3 buttons labelled YES, NO, CANCEL is displayed with the buttons in the wrong layout order:

From left to right the buttons appear in the following order:

Button3 (CANCEL) - Button1 (YES) - Button2 (NO)

Tab navigation moves among all the 3 buttons, but right arrow only navigates between Button1 and Button2.
Also, the button returned when using SHOW_ALERT is the logically correct one.

This happens for both Forms6i and Forms10g (web deployed).

The buttons ordering appears correctly if running Forms6i in client/server mode.


Following a suggestion found on another thread in this forum,
I tried to execute the web form using "lookAndFeel=Generic" instead of
our usual "lookAndFeel=Oracle", and then the alert buttons appear in the correct order, that is, Button1, Button2, Button3 from left to right.


But, in this case, some other strange things seem to happen:

When executing a query in one of my forms, suddenly WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM
triggers do fire on queried item values, while the same trigger does not fire
when using "lookAndFeel=Oracle", and this is the correct behavior in this case,
that is, the trigger SHOULD NOT fire !!!
I don't state that this is a generic behavior, but definitely the SAME form behaves LOGICALLY DIFFERENTLY for the 2 "lookAndFeel" values,
with "lookAndFeel=Oracle" exhibiting the logically correct behavior.


Looks like each of the 2 "lookAndFeel" values does have its own specific bugs ...


Can anybody shed some light on this problem ?

I browsed a lot through this forum and I wonder that nobody seems to have raised the same problem regarding the 3 alert buttons layout order ... though I can hardly believe that nobody has encountered it ...

Thanks & Best Regards,
