V3.0 Known Issues
From Frevvodocs
frevvo Live Forms™ v3.0
We try very hard to solve all issues prior to release. Sometimes problems slip thru that will be solved in a patch or future product release. Here is a list of issues that will be fixed soon.
IE6 Form Designer Support
Please note that, while designing forms, some things may not work well in Internet Explorer 6. We strongly recommend using a modern web browser such as Firefox 2.0 or IE7, when designing your forms. Several known issues that are in v3 for IE6 will be fixed in v3.1.
Firefox 3.0 Designer & Using forms Support
Firefox 3.0 is not yet supported for Using or Designing forms. It will be supported very soon in v3.1
Known Issues
| Ticket | Description | Work-around |
|---|---|---|
| 363 | Schemas with repeating model groups are not yet supported. While repeating elements are supported, xsd constructs like the following are not. <sequence minOccurs="2" maxOccurs="3"/> | Do not use elements with repeating model groups in your forms. |
| 392 | Schemas choice groups are not yet supported. All choices appear on the form as required even though only one is.
<xs:element name="promotion">
<complexType>
<choice>
<element name="Discount" />
<element name="None" />
</choice>
</complexType>
</xs:element>
| Do not use elements of type Choice in your forms. |
| 904 | When using IE6 to edit forms, all controls sometimes turn blue in the form designer during a drag/drop operation. The controls often stay blue making it difficult to see the form. | Sometimes you can turn off the blue by clicking on the form. However frevvo highly recommends using IE7 or Firefox (1.5 or 2.0) when designing your forms. Note: IE6 is fully supported in use mode |
| 1004 | Styling field labels with heading tags can on rare occasion cause the label to display twice above the field. | It is best practice to style labels by adding a CSS Class name to the control in the edit properties panel. And then styling the label via a custom theme. First, heading tags are notoriously inconsistently sized between browsers. For instance, <h3>Membership List</h3> may appear much different when your form is viewed in firefox versus IE6. Second, especially if your application has multiple forms, adding inline styling is not recommended as all of your styling is best done via a theme. And third, it is very important to note that the control's label is by default used as the control's xml element name. Html tags syntax is not valid as an element name. So you must therefore also add a valid element name in the control's edit properties.

| 1361 | NPE using Email Service if form submit is asynchronous | When using the Email Service as the form's document action, do not uncheck the Synchronous checkbox in the forms properties. This causes a NullPtrException. This will be resolved in an up coming release.
|
| 1465 | Browser displays an out of memory error when accessing the form server |
If the specific error is: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space Set the min and max heap size: -Xms??m -Xmx??m Reasonable choices for the heap size are: -Xmx512m -Xms128m The other error is in the perm gen space. Java has a fixed space allocated for classes and other statics that is usually enough in normal cases, but could be quickly filled up if there is on the fly code generation or thing of the sort. Set the max perm size: -XX:MaxPermSize=??M Where ?? can be something such as 64 If you are running frevvo under tomcat, edit <tomcat>/bin/catalina.bat and add these parameters to the JAVA_OPTS environnment variable.

| 1367 | Opening form in Form Designer in firefox browser pops up dialog "Warning: Unresponsive script..." | Large forms may take longer to load into the browser than firefox's default script timeout of 5 seconds.
To change the default timeout: 1. Type about:config in Firefox's address bar. 2. Filter down to the value for dom.max_script_run_time. 3. Change the value to something higher than the default (which is 5.) I set mine to 20. 4. Bask in interruptionless browsing!

| 2762 | IE6 dropdown controls obscure both the help box and calendar popups. | This is a well known issue with IE6 forms with dropdown controls. Reorganize your form so that dropdown controls are not placed next to date controls or controls where you have added help text |
