Because of some peculiar way of using CSS, the reports aren't rendered correctly in Firefox. I've tryed specifying different rendering options (html 4 for instance) but it didn't help. What are my options on this? I could use Webservices (SOAP) and wrap SSRS in a proxy, but I'd have to parse reports and extract the data and build my own presentation layer. This way I'd be missing half of the SSRS functionality. Any ideas?

View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen I open a .NET report viewer in Netscape or Firefox, the report is compressed to a small sliver on the left hand side of the screen. However, the report displays properly in Internet Explorer.
Is there special code that I have to put in place to get a report viewer to display properly in netscape or firefox?
I've seen many posts about lack of non-IE browser compatibility, but still no solution (MyIEtab ISN'T a solution). The CSS fix solves it partially, but not completely, and the fix of putting a rectangle in the top is just a joke.
Currently my reports can't be browsed by Firefox and other Mac browsers, and that's going to be a stopper for further using of SSRS in the future in my company. I was expecting SP2 to do something about this, but it hasn't solved anything. I'm sure it's a very easy patch for MS, but by maintaining this (artificial?) limitation they're going to make us move from SSRS and even the full SQL Server stack for future projects.
Any other *real* solution, other than CSS and big rectangle in the top of the report?
Hi,
We are using the RSClientPrint component to print reports from our web application. When we use it from IE all works fine. But on using the FireFox the print method fails. I am using following code to print
Code Snippet
var oRSClientPrint = window.document.getElementById("RSClientPrint");
alert(oRSClientPrint);
if (typeof oRSClientPrint.Print == "undefined")
{
alert("Unable to load client print control.");
return;
}
In FireFox above code fails by raising error message "Unable to load client print control.". As per me FireFox is not able to use the Print method of object, Can you help me on how we can make it to work with FireFox.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi,
I have a popup window that opens a server report in PDF format using URL access and within this report there are hyperlinks to webpages.On clicking the hyperlinks from within the report we get the following error :
"Internet explorer cannot download.Unspecified error".
we have used javascript in the jump to URL expression:
="javascript:void(window.open('http://hostname/p/proj/project.aspx?uid=" + Trim(Cstr(Fields!ProjectUID.Value)) + "','_blank','location=no,toolbar=no'))"
Kindly advice.
Hi,
I have deployed my report to the report server and send a link to the users to view the report on the browser. But when the report is viewed, it shows up as "restore down" instead of "full screen". For example, the report shows up in the browser with all the information below.

How do I set up the report to make it show up as full screen report without all the details above?
After resolving all the installation and configuration related issues, I was able to deploy a couple of projects on my report server. I can see alll folders and reports listed inside the folders from http://<servername>/reports . All works fine except when I run a report, the http://<servername>/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx page does not render report.
This page displays View, Properties, History Subscriptions etc, menu items on the top section of the page. It also displays Home, My Subscriptions, Site Settings, Help etc. links on top right corner of the page. I can also see the bar that has "New subscription" button. But the problem starts from the section below that. It does NOT display the Report navigation bottons (like First page button, Next Page button, previous page button, Last page button, print button etc.) Appears that the icons images for these bottons are missing. And above all, the page does not render report.
IE browser status indicate the following error:
error:'HoevrImagectl161_ctl01_ctl01_ctl06_ctl01' is null or not an object.
The report renders fine via http://<servername>/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx
I may not have explained the problem well here however, if you are interested, I can email you the screenshot of Report.aspx to help you understand the problem.
Any help is appreciated!!!
I would like to know how to show all the records returned (upto 1000) in one single page on a web browser. I am able to get the required report in IE but in case of Firefox it hangs.
Did some test and found that Firefox is able to render a report of upto max 300 records in a single page without getting hanged but report is coming very slow. While you scroll the scroll bar it€™s moving with Jerks. with 200 records in a single page is not getting hanged but report is faster than 300 records display. But by 500 records Firefox hangs. I understand it might be depending on the hardware also but am not sure.
Can anybody give me a good solution to display upto 1000 records in a single page or if its a limitation, where can i get the documentation of it.
Thanks and regards

I am experiencing a problem with the multi-value parameter dropdown in the ReportViewer when using FireFox, but in IE it seems to work fine. The symptom is when I click on the dropdown the list of options appears and then quickly disappears before I can select anything and I only experience the problem with multi-value parameters. I also have noticed that the dropdown is grayed out but I can still click it. Also, the position of the dropdown options are different in FireFox (pushed all the way to the left). I have created a very basic example at https://www.register4this.com/testreport.aspx to demonstrate the problem. There is no report, only the single "Orgs" parameter to keep things as simple as possible.
I suspect that I am missing something obvious because I haven't been able to find anyone else reporting this issue so any help would be appreciated. My ReportView control is configured as follows:

Hi,
I am using calendar control to get a date range in a report which is viewed in a aspx page (inside a master page) using reportviewer.
works fine in IE. but the calendar vanishes within 2 secs in firefox and opera browsers.
thanks in advance
I want to poll a row on a table:
DECLARE @CNT INT
DECLARE @Q NVARCHAR(1000)
SET @CNT = 1
WHILE(@CNT < 1000)
BEGIN
SET @Q = 'SELECT * FROM table'
PRINT @Q
EXEC sp_executesql @Q
SET @CNT = @CNT + 10
WAITFOR DELAY '00:00:01'
END
The thing is I want it just to run and run in a separate window, while something else is updating this table.
Thing is: it seems to run right to the end and only then produce output.
My question is: how can I get it to print output as it happens, rather than when the script is complete?

Sorry, but I am returning to Firefox browser and the squished fields. While running under VS-TFS and developing a web application, I view my report with Cassini back-end server (debug/F5). I cut and paste the URL line into Firefox. The report views just fine. I deploy the report to the web site and now the same report viewing with Firefox exhibits the famous squished columns (wow). If I understand this correctly, this would indicate that the problem is not Firefox but IIS rendering. What are your feelings?
View 13 Replies View RelatedWhen I try to run a simple table report using Safari or Firefox the experience is less than stellar.
Using Safari the report never returns, basically the pag body is blank.
Using Firefox the table layout is very compressed.
Anything changes in the works to allow the reporting server to be used by non IE browser.
We run in a multi-platform environment and need the multiple browser support.
Thanks.

Okay, when i go and preview a report that has columns (my report is designed for printing lables, i'm just pulling names and addresses and placing them in a list text box and 3 columns), the columns do not show. Keep in mind this is in "preview" cause html cannot handle columns.
On the first page, the middle column is blank, then the second page has blank first and last columns, and this repeats throughout the preview. So column 2 is blank, then 1 & 3 are blank, and so on.
I'm wondering if this is a SP2-related thing cause i know SP2 caused the black-preview-renderings (and i fixed that).
I know it's working properly cause i can export to PDF and it's perfect.
So, this is merely a rendering issue (at least so far). Does anyone have any suggestions or any advice to a fix on this? I CAN'T BE THE ONLY ONE? It'd be very nice to be able to preview my reports before they're deployed to the intranet website.
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
i have a report with an image on the footer. When i view the report in the designer/report manager or export to any format, everythings fine. Now i have a ASP.NET site which makes a webservice call to get HTML output from my report. in this case no image show up. The Url of the image is like that: h**p://servername/ReportServer?%2fDocuments%2fGerman%2fOrder%2fOrderResponse&rs%3aFormat=HTML4.0&rs%3aImageID=ac8c4a8c-8a63-4ff9-ba74-6d6a7076a0ef
When i check the HTML version of the Report Manager the url of the image is like: h**p://servername/Reports/Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd?ReportSession=iuwsgfikvz4ezfmd0tqmyj45&ControlID=cee4d933-5ab6-413f-8c28-4c3a2b3ff230&Culture=1031&UICulture=7&ReportStack=1&OpType=ReportImage&StreamID=84e7491d-eab4-4502-adac-2bec4254da90
I take the byte stream of the report from the RS Service an put it to the HttpResponse of the ASP.NET page.
What could be the problem?
I have a report in which the jump to URL always works in Preview mode in Visual Studio. However, when I publish it to Sharepoint the link does not seem to want to render.
Most of the time if the link is short like http://server.domain.com it works fine.
When I try ="http://servername/projectcontrols/reports/Pages/PhaseExpenditureBreakdown.aspx?Phase="&Fields!PhaseName.Value as the expression it never works in Sharepoint, but does work in Preview Mode.
If I try ="http://"&Fields!PhaseName.Value then it renders the URL in Sharepoint.
Is there some kind of size limit to the URL?

Hello everyone, I'm not sure if this has been addressed or not, but there were a few threads on here (after much searching) on this subject where after installing SP2, when you go to preview your reports, the background (which is set to transparent by default) renders black.
Basically your preview for reports comes up entirely black. There was a workaround where you had to change the background color to white, which did work, but the magin areas still blacked out.
I did some more searching online and came across a KB article and requested the hotfix. It's not 100% proof yet, so you have to request it via customer service.
So far it's working for me and no issues yet. I create all my reports via VS2005 and previewing is a vital need of mine. Now the black renderings are gone and everything else is back to normal, at least for now...
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935436 (last review date: 10/12/2007)
Again, it's not 100% proof, so use at your own discretion. Just wanting to share!

Last week a number of reports that were working fine began rendering incorrectly when sent out in report subscription emails - they work fine when directly rendered using report manager. The weird issues include broken alignment (left instead of right), missing borders, and changed fonts.

When I deploy a report, and then browse to it with FireFox, I only see 2 inces of the report. I can scroll through the entire report, but only see the 2 inch window's worth at any time.
Its like the html element the report gets put into has a hard coded height, and doesnt auto size to show the eintire report.
It works fine with IE, but we are a FireFox shop.
Anyone know how to fix this?

I want to toggle the visibility of a report item in my page footer based on whether or not a particular subreport has been rendered.
The report has 3 subreports. The subreport above the subreport in question can span several pages, so the subreport I want information on can render on page 1 (for a short report) or page 12 (for example) on a longer report.
Is there a way to determine within the main report when a particular subreport has been rendered and is currently visible?
Thanks in advance for all replies.

does RS allow a report to be built such that after user runs it, hovering over a particular piece of info could display some variable piece of info similar to tooltips, intellisense etc?
How about a tip to the user if he/she hovers over a parameter prompt?
Hi can someone help me please? I browsed through the SP2 install feedback below, but it doesn't quite seem to fit what happened to my install. My .MDF and .LDF files for the system databases are in C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSQL.1MSQLData (I presume this is the correct location.)
I am the local administrator on this box.
I uploaded the .CAB file with all the logs onto www.sendspace.com if it gives you something to go on.
The only other thing of note is that it said there were two machines on the network and that I needed to change my machine name in the control panel when I installed. This doesn't seem right, as far as I understand the computer name is unique.
The SQL Server runs under the local system account, if that is of any use.
I attempted uninstalling and reinstalling the SQL native client MSI package in the hope it would be a simple fix similar to that chap further down the page, but that didn't help at all either.
.CAB file of installation logfiles is here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/7ihoet
