ReportViewer scrolling issues in IE

Question

I deployed the report using reportViewer on my local computer. This is a wide report, so you need a horizontal scrollbar at the bottom of the report, but it fits vertically. This is fine in FF, however IE does this with a vertical scrollbar, and no matter what I do, I cannot get rid of it! Is this a problem with IE? Can I not just have a horizontal scrollbar, or does IE insist on both, even if the vertical scrollbar does almost nothing?

thanks

Answer 1

Just a thought, but is ReportViewer configured for asynchronous rendering?

This link has some details: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms252090.aspx

With AsyncRendering = true, your report will be displayed inside an IFRAME. It can by default use a certain height until it is displayed, and IE does not recognize that after the fact.

Try setting it to false - if the problem and asynchronous rendering are not an option for you, it might be possible to programmatically set the initial height of the ReportViewer low enough to avoid these scroll bars.

IE definitely allows only one type of scrollbar (at least IE8) - you can try by resizing the window on the Google homepage and making the window tall but narrow.

If you are using the edge of IE 11, you have this problem.

.repViewer{overflow-y:auto !important;} 

 <rsweb:ReportViewer Height="400px" CssClass="repViewer">
