I know certain aspects of SSRS don't work in 3rd party browsers, like zooming, printing, date pickers etc, but I can't see on MSDN/Technet that reports shouldn't render correctly.

The reports in Safari and Chrome come back as a blank page but the Report Control which controls the pages is updated to the correct number of pages, just the report is blank.
Tried various solutions, like adding a function to the javascript even finding the right values from the source (ctl31_ctl103), changing the DOC string in reportviewer.aspx etc.

But nothing is working.
Anyone else got any suggestions on how to get the reports to display in Chrome or Safari, granted may be a long shot.

To add on to this, if you go in via ReportServer and browse via that URL the reports render as HTML. It is only if you go in on the Reports URL that they do not render the HTML correctly.

This may not be what you're looking for but as a last resort you could create a link with the rs:format option to produce a pre rendered report as a pdf\excel\word file.

Nope, we need to give the users direct access to the web page, so rendering to file is not an option.
As this is going to be external facing SSRS and reports provided as our new SaaS product, we cannot say that 100% of users will have IE or even use PC's, so having to ensure that there are ways which all browsers can render the reports as HTML.
Looks like going in the back end way of ReportServer is the option for us, but would be good to use Reports for the breadcrums and the nicer look and feel to the site.
