ReportViewer 2008/ReportViewer 2010 issues in IE9
Hi guys, We are planning to port our report website based on ReportViewer to IE9.0, but found some issues as below: 1. Using ReportViewer 2008, in IE9.0 Issue1: zoom not work properly if zoom in to 150% or 200%, the report can not be shown completely, top section of report(report title) can not be seen Issue2: Find function not working properly if clicking on "Next", some parts originally out of ReportViewer were duplicated shown in ReportViewer component and an error was raised. The error "Can't execute code from a freed script" was raised in this.m_reportObject.OnFrameVisible(), as below: function OnReportFrameLoaded() { this.m_reportLoaded = true; this.ShowWaitFrame(false); if (this.IsAsync && this.m_reportObject != null) this.m_reportObject.OnFrameVisible(); } 2. After we install ReportViewer 2010 redistibutable, using ReportView 2010, the issue 2 is fixed, but issue 1 is still reproduced. 3. Another question is about ReportViewer 2010, the Reportviewer will always refreshed when post back what ever in IE8 or IE9. All are working well with ReportViewer 2008 in IE8 or even IE6. Development/Deployment Environment: Visual Studio 2008+window 2008/WINDOWs 7+SQL Server 2008 Your help is really appreciated. Thanks

Hi, Yes point 1 above is reproducible for us too when IE 9 is in Document Mode IE9, regardless of Browser Mode. Document modes 7 and 8 work fine. Additional to point 1 above, which probably explains what is going on, our Report Viewer shows at 80% zoom by default, this does the reverse of 150% zoom, in that we get a very large white space header across the the top. Under Document Modes up to IE8, an increase/decrease of the Zoom will increase/decrease the font size and the canvas (for want of a better word other than say "web page" or "printed page"), like changing the size of any normal web page. So for example what once would fit on 1 A4 page, when zoomed in will now print across and down several A4 pages. Under Document Mode IE9, it would appear an increase/decrease of the Zoom will increase/decrease the font size only, leaving the canvas at it's original 100%. So zooming in now centres on the left hand side, half-way down the canvas, trimming anything that doesn't fall within the canvas - (additionally two vertical scroll bars are present???). Inversely zooming out, adds white space at the top, right and bottom parts of the canvas. My environment for reproducing issue 1 is: ReportViewer 2008, SSRS 2008, VS 2008, Windows 7, SQL Server 2008 R2 64 bit and IE 9 in Document Mode IE9 only. This issue doesn't occur for FireFox 5.0.

Hi Denny Song, Just as Odonas professional reply, the issue you have got is most related to IE 9 rather than ReportViewer, please try to select Internet Explorer 9 compatibility View in IE Browser Mode, and then check if it works for you. If the issue persists, I suggest you post the thread to our IE9 forum: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/ieitprocurrentver/threads. And there are many experts focus on it. Thanks, Eileen

Hi Eileen, Thanks for the reply. We have tried all kinds of compatibility views, the issue 2: "search functionality is not working properly" is still reproduced. I guess it's something related with IE9.

Hi all, I can confirm that the problems are related to IE9. I tried all kinds of combinations of IIS, Report, Zoommodes and Internet Explorers. The problem in my case is only on IE9 with compatibility mode Off. Unfortunately the compatibilty can't be set to Off because that will mess up other parts :-( Does any one know if this is a known bug and maybe post the ID / number?

For Issue 2 Search-find nested issue, find a hotfix: There is a hotfix for the issue 2(Search-find nested issue) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2537988 , this hotfix can make WebForm.ReportReviewer working properly. for SSRS(Make search control working properly via ReportServer in IE9), need to upgrade to CU5 for SQL Server 2008, SQL Server 2008 R2. But still not sure how to fix the problem of Zoom-in issue.
