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.

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.

Thanks for the solution.

Well we too think it's incomplete.

I have tried using other DTDs than xhtml 1.0 like HTML4.01 and HTML 5.0 but still the problem occurs.

This is because non standard methods and attributes are used (like onactivate ) that might be excluded by FireFox when parsing the HTML in standards mode.

Thanks FireFox for allowing things in quirks mode else this would be a dream (and might have to find something else than ReportViewer or to switch to the old HTML reporting...)

Hi Guys,

I am also agree with you. Shame to microsoft for such unfinished product. There are lots of incomplete things into reporting system. Even Microsoft it self suggesed to remove DocType from the page. Please refer http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms252090(VS.80).aspx article for more information.

I am looking forward for the new version of SSRS in .Net 3.5 and SQL Server 2008.
