In forms 6i, you can use an OCX object to navigate to an HTML page.
The following steps may help you in doing so:

1. in your form, insert an OCX element
2. right-click on this object and click on "Insert Object"
3. choose "Microsoft Web Browser" from the list. The object is now inserted.
4. in forms menu bar, go to Programs --> Import OLE Library Interfaes.
5. from the list, under OLE classes, choose Shell.Explorer.2 and under method packages, choose IWebBrowser2 then click OK. Now, a new package is added to your program units.
6. in the appropriate trigger, write the following code:
   
   Code: [Select all] [Show/ hide]

   declare
     handlehtml ole2.obj_type;
   BEGIN
     synchronize;
     handlehtml := ole2.create_obj('Shell.Explorer.2');
     handlehtml := forms_ole.get_interface_pointer ('<block_name>.<ocx_name>');
     Shell_IWebBrowser2.NAVIGATE(handlehtml,'<URL>');
   END;
   

7. run your form, and fire the trigger where you have written the code, the page specified in <URL> will be displayed in the OCX element.
