First we added a hidden iframe, to the page forms was running on and gave it the name "hiddenframe".
<iframe name="hiddenframe" style="display:none"></iframe>
We then created a new html page, "newWindow.html".
<html>
<body>
<h1>Open Page in a New Window</h1>
<script type="text/javascript">
var thisUrl = document.location.toString();
var newPage = thisUrl.substring(thisUrl.indexOf("?",0)+1);
var openWin = window.open(newPage,"_blank","resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes");
openWin.focus();
</script>
</body>
</html>

var newPage = thisUrl.substring(thisUrl.indexOf("?",0)+1);
var openWin = window.open(newPage,"_blank","resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes");
openWin.focus();
</script>
</body>
</html>
This page is always called into "hiddenframe" with the report page we want to display passed as a parameter. Javascript in the "newWindow.html" page then opens a new window without toolbars and buttons and calls the desired page.
So if I wanted to open a page called myReport.html in a new window without toolbars and buttons I can call web.show_document as:
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://myserver/newWindow.html?http://myserver/pls/myReport.html', 'hiddenframe');
The user needs popup blockers turned off for this server but this shouldn't be an issue for business applications of this type.
This is not restricted to Oracle Forms, it's so simple it can be used for any web application.
You can use this test page to test the newWindow.html page. Enter the url to open in the input box.
<html>
<body>
<h1>New Window Test</h1>
URL: <input id="page" type="text" value="http://www.google.com/"/>
<input type="button" value="Open" onclick="window.open('newWindow.html?'+document.getElementById('page').value,'hiddenframe')"/>
<iframe name="hiddenframe" style="display:none"></iframe>
</body>
</html>

<h1>New Window Test</h1>
URL: <input id="page" type="text" value="http://www.google.com/"/>
<input type="button" value="Open" onclick="window.open('newWindow.html?'+document.getElementById('page').value,'hiddenframe')"/>
<iframe name="hiddenframe" style="display:none"></iframe>
</body>
</html>
Done...
