RSClientPrint in FireFox

Hi,

We are using the RSClientPrint component to print reports from our web application. When we use it from IE all works fine. But on using the FireFox the print method fails. I am using following code to print

Code Snippet

var oRSClientPrint = window.document.getElementById("RSClientPrint");
alert(oRSClientPrint);
if (typeof oRSClientPrint.Print == "undefined")
{
alert("Unable to load client print control.");
return;
}

In FireFox above code fails by raising error message "Unable to load client print control.". As per me FireFox is not able to use the Print method of object, Can you help me on how we can make it to work with FireFox.

Thanks and Regards,
Nav

The control for printing is an ActiveX control and is not supported in non-IE browsers.

There is a plugin for loading ActiveX controls that you may be able to get for firefox or netscape, if you have control over the client pc.

You will probably have to export the report to an html file, redirect to the html file, and use some javascript to popup the print dialog.

cheers,

Andrew

RS 2005 with other browsers?

Hi all
Can anyone report on how well the early releases of RS 2005 works for
browers other than Internet Explorer, especially FireFox? This was the
main thing that prevented us using RS behind our customer portal
website.
I'm not so concerned about the toolbar etc but more the html for
relatively simple tabular html reports.
Thanks
RossI haven't been using it very long - a couple of months maybe, but so
far it looks good. Reports seem to render correctly, with some minor
formatting issues that can be worked around. Export to PDF works
perfectly.
I've tested with the latest version of IE (fully SP'ed) and FireFox
1.0.7.
Toolbar paging works too in FireFox, although the "Find" box is absent.
