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!!!!!!!!!!

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!

Reportviewer with Multivalue Parameter and FireFox

Hi,

I'm experiencing a problem with the multivalue parameter dropdown in ReportViewer control in FireFox. It works fine in IE. The problem is when I click on dropdown list with multivalue parameters, the list of options appears then quickly disappers before I can select anything. This problem occurs only for multivalue parameters. The dropdown is also grayed-out. Also, the dropdown options are not displayed in the correct position (it is pushed all the way to the left). If a navigate directly to the reportserver and view the report there it works fine so I'm guessing that the problem is with the Reportviewer control in Firefox.

Has anyone else come across this problem?

Thanks!

try deleting the line in the aspx file that sets the doctype to XHTML it worked for us, although did cause some other issues which we then had to rectify.

|||I tried deleting the DOCTYPE element but it causes other issues - the page stysheets and themes didn't render correctly. Also, the page with a reportviewer control is in a master page. :(

we had the same issue and ended up creating a second master page for the reports so all of our other pages could keep the doc type line. As far as I'm aware its a bug with reporting services and this is the only workaround I've been able to find. To be honest the more I use reporting servies the more it feels like an unfinished product.
