Report Viewer and FireFox 1.0

I have a report and added the RS report viewer as a control. when I run the
Asp.net pasge I created in IE 6.0 I have no problem seeing the report,
However When using Firefox, the RS report viewer control looks way
distorted!! Is anyone aware of this problem or am I doing anything wrong.
Most of ower clients use IE, few are using Firefox. i want the .net p[asge
to be cross browser especially when using the Report Viewr control.
Thanks

Message posted via http://www.sqlmonster.comAm also running V1.0 and the rendered report that usually shows as a
complete page in IE6 is in a small area about a half-inch high and very
"squashed" - definitely useless...
Firefox also asked me to login to RS twice before it would show the report -
no such login needed with IE.
Stick with IE6 for now...

over the browser they use. And I know for a fact, some will use Firefox
1.0. I have read about a lot of flaws and attacks already in the Fire fox
space. Programming for IE is much more permissive, Fire Fox is so "Anal" so-
to-speak ( could not find a better word to discribe it :) ).

Message posted via http://www.sqlmonster.com|||We're in the same situation and are looking at fixes. I don't think any
of us will get the Report Manager app working outside of IE - MS coded
it and that is the way it is!
One semi workaround we've found that I've not seen any postings on is an
export type for more compatible html that by default is not visible. In
the file:
\..\Reporting Services\ReportServer\RSReportServer.config
Find the section on <Render> and:
Extension Name="HTML3.2"
Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.HtmlRenderer.Html32RenderingExtension,Microsoft.ReportingServices.HtmlRendering"
Visible="false"/>
Change Viable="false" to "true"
Since Firefox doesn't open the new browser window from the Export in RS
run the report in IE and then go to the Export drop down and select "web
page for most browsers" which should now be visable. You'll get a new
browser window with a html3.2 rendered report. Copy/paste the very long
url into Firefox and the report looks nearly as good. From that url you
can see how to built other static links to your reports that Firefox can
display. You do loose pagination provided by the IE renderer and if you
want more than static links to your reports you'll have to roll your own
interface to build the url with parameters, report names, etc.....but
it is possible.

for it, if not, the gist of it is that it doesn't even work on IE for
Macs. I've tested a few browsers and it's just a complete no go at the
moment.
