Toolbar buttons not showing in IE8

Former Member

We have reports working and displaying fine in all the common browsers except IE8 where, although the report generates correctly, the toolbar buttons are missing.

We are using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010(13.0.2000.0).

What do you get? Red X instead of the buttons? A link to a screen shot will be helpful.

Nope - no red crosses here is the link...

Strange...

Does Compatibility Mode display correctly?

I use IE8 with no problems as I suspect many here are so it is something environmental...

It looks like the toolstrip has been reduced down to a very narrow width with the separator bar being the only visible object. Was the viewer control placed in a table or panel? If so, was any justification applied to the panel/table?

If compatibility mode works, a workaround is to add the following header tag:




<head runat="server"
  <title>My CR Viewer Page</title>

  (meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7")  (you'll have to fox this line as this system will not let me post it formatted correctly... e.g.; add < />

     
</head>

Happy to hear this is done :).

Can I ask what specifically resolved it? I think this may make a nice KBase.

Certainly, it was the compatibilty mode issue.

Adding the meta header tag did the trick.

Once again, thanks!
