HTML Rendering Compatibility with Mozilla

sql server reporting services: I'm having some weird problems attempting to render reports in Mozilla.
Basically, any report that I write, no matter how simple it is, gets squished
to the smallest possible width.

For Example:
If I have the word "Hello" in a cell, and set the cell with to be double
that size, IE will display it fine, but Mozilla will squish it up to half of
the size it should be (the width of "hello")

Are there any workarounds available to get a page to display properly on

Hi

How are you rendering reports? Web service / URL / Report Manager
etc???

The web service has a <Type> tag in its <DeviceInfo> that is set to the
name of the browser type. more information is available at:

Is this useful?

I've tried with both URL and Report Manager.

I also tried specifying various browser types, and that doesn't make a
difference.

URL access does the same thing to the reports.

I did find a little workaround... at the top of the table I have a row that
is all joined cells, with a 1x1 image in it.

After pulling the HTML4.0 webpage fragment into a variable, I do a replace
on the first instance of:
<IMG style="HEIGHT:100%;WIDTH:100%"
and chanve it to:
<IMG height=1 width=n
where n = the width I want the report to be. I then output that variable to
the screen.

That change forces the table to stay at least as wide as the image.

It's a pretty messy solution, but it gets the job done until RS 2005 comes
out.

Report Manager you pretty much need IE. I have seen people using Firefox and
saying the reports worked.

I have been told that the next version (RS 2005) should be better with other
browsers.
