Reportviewer working over ssl(fortress) using Firefox, but not over ssl using IE

Hello,

I have a local report - using the reportviewer control - being displayed to internet users over an ssl connection (Fortress). The report works find in Safari and Firefox web browsers, but does not display in I.E.

What happens is the reportviewer acts like it is going to display the report properly, but as soon as the "Report is being Generated" message ends, the report viewer control tool bar drops to the bottom of the page effectively not showing the report. I can click export on the tool bar - that works as expected and allows me to download the report as an excel or pdf file, but inside I.E. I cannot see the report.

Any suggestions?


Thanks!!!!!!!!!!

Big Smile I solved the problem. The issue was the reportviewer control was embedded inside an aspx table cell. In the process of troubleshooting, I deleted the aspx table, so the control was just inside an aspx panel. Deleting the table allowed the reportviewer to render properly over ssl.

What made the hard to figure was it worked great over plain http with IE, but not https(ssl). Ironically, the viewer worked great over ssl when using firefox.

Cheers!
