Hi,
I was hoping someone knew if SSRS 2005/SSRS 2008 provided support for Cascading Style Sheets. It looked like from my research that I did this morning that it doesn't. Can anyone confirm this? We have a user experience design group that wants to use it when SSRS objects are printed and/or developed. I know Crystal supports this, but I didn't think this was possible yet in SSRS.
Thanks,
Tim

Support of cascading style sheets would be a very useful capability in SSRS. The 2005 version does not support CSS and unfortunately, it appears that neither will SSRS 2008. See the following thread:

I know this is an old thread, but it might help. I am trying to solve a problem and came across this. It looks like 2008 does now support CSS.

^ That link is old.

Styling the Toolbar has been possible since RS 2005. But, they want to style the Report. There is no CSS functionality for that.

Still no direct support in SSRS for CSS. Because of that, a number of workarounds have been developed to accomplish something similar. The ones I'm familiar with require the report to be designed or modified (one-time) to handle their particular methodology.

Here's one recent method that allows dynamic modification of styles for the various report elements

Hope this helps,

Hi.

In my opinion, you can have a try of RAQ Report. Maybe the main-sub report can solve your problem.

In my opinion, Is it really necessary to spam every thread here with your "me-too" java reporting tool, that incidentally has absolutely nothing to do with SSRS?

just wondering..
