SSRS Report Viewer Browser Compatibility Issue

  • Hi Experts,

    We are exposing our SSRS reports through the reportViewer page present in the default BIDS installation. All the features in the report work fine in IE. But when reports are opened on other browsers like chrome, firefox, safari some features like 'Print' button, Datepicker seems to disappear.

    For chrome and firefox we found the 'IE Tab' plugin which helps these browser emulate IE and we get the desired features and output.

    But we are not able to find any such plugin for safari. Although we found one workaround of setting the user agent to IE in the develop menu. But this has to be done every time a new browser is opened.

    Is there a plugin such as IE tab for safari? Or can we set Safari's user agent programatically?

    Thanks & Regards,

  • Yes it does. Go to Safari>Preferences>Advanced Tab and check "Show Develop menu in menu bar". Under Develop you will find User Agent. Select the browser you would like Safari to emulate, then go to your web address

  • Hi Rahul,

    we have tried this setting. But this has to be done every time the browser is opened. are you aware of setting this through code, so that the user does not have to do the setting, every time he opens a new safari window.

    Regards,
