Support for Mozilla is woefully lacking

sql server reporting services: Hi,

The Report Manager web site is totally flawed in Mozilla based browsers
such as Firefox 1.0.

It is not good to have to switch to MSIE to use a web site in the 21st
century. It not even as if it uses ActiveX.

Some examples of flaws in case anyone in MS cares to address the issue are:

Reports viewed in Firefox come up in an iFrame that is about 3 cms high
instead of page height.


Click Show Details and nothing happens as there is a javascript error
(windows.navigate is not a function). This happens on many of the buttons

Click on new role assignment from the scurity page throws a js error

There are loads of these serious problems never mind some of the ways in
which things are mis-sized.

I would be happy to go through and exhaustively catalo the issue if
someone from MS is willing to help. Heck, I would even fix em if I
though it would help.

The thing that bugs me is the insistence on using document.all when
claimed support is for ie5+. that being the case theres no reason
document.getElementById cant be used.
