Users cannot launch Forms using MSIE 8 in Release 12.1.1

When attempting to launch any Oracle Form using MS Internet Explorer Browser Version 8, the following message can message will be observed:

'Internet Explorer has modified this page to prevent a possible cross-site scripting attack'

FRM-92101: There was a failure in the Forms during startup. This could happen due to an invalid configuration. Please look into the web server log file for details.

This is because MSIE 8 has implemented a new filter named "Cross Site Scripting [XSS] Filter"

As permanent solution, redeploy the Forms 10.1.2.3 formsapp.ear file

1. Make a backup copy of the original Forms system-jazn-data.xml file found in $INST_TOP/ora/10.1.3/j2ee/forms/config/system-jazn-data.xml

 2. Change oc4jadmin password if the password is unknown [ per Note 397174.1 ]

   3. Execute $FND_TOP/bin/txkrun.pl -script=CfgOC4JApp

         Enter Application name for re-deployment ? forms
         Enter Oc4j Instance password for re-deployment ? welcome (or current password)
         Run Autoconfig ? No

Temporary Workaround:

As a temporary workaround, disable the XSS filter is NOT recommended, but has been reported and may be of help until you implement the supported solution delineated in Note 389422.1.

1. In MSIE 8 > [Menu Bar ] >Tools > Internet Options >
    [Tab] Security > [Button] Custom Level >
    Scroll down to entry "Enable XSS Filter" > Select Disable XSS Filter >
    Click OK
