Hi,
I have a report Viewer on a aspx page that uses a master page. the content pane on this page is constrained by its inclusion inside a table on the master page which is set to a fixed width.
My question concerns the fact that the textbox items on the report wrap when the report viewer is constrained in width, screwing up the design. When exported to pdf everytihng lays out as it should. It would seem more intuitive for the report viewer to layout the report with its original design and use a horizontal scroll bar. How do I enable this functionality?

Hi Jonathan,
Actually the missing scrollbar is problem caused by the improper box model of Internet Explorer. You can try this in every other browser (Firefox, Safari, Opera) and verify that it is working correctly. There are two possible workarounds:

- remove the doctype from your page or find a doctype that works correctly for your scenario.
- keep the doctype but set height to your table cell containing the ReportViewer and accordingly set height to every parent along the hierarchy.

I'm not clear on how setting the height would help the horizontal scrollbar appear.
Changing the doc type for me is not possible because the doc type is set in my master page.
It seems like telerik should provide a solution for this and make the report viewer work correctly in IE rather than say it is IE's fault.

Hello rh,
Try to put the ReportViewer inside a div element with style="overflow-x: scroll" and check the result. For example:
<div style="overflow-x: scroll">
<telerik:ReportViewer ID="ReportViewer1" runat="server" Height="450px" Width="800px" />
</div>
If this does not help, please open a support ticket and send us the html source of the page so that we check it and suggest any other approach.

OK, I've narrowed this down. If I have the following in my master page then the report viewer doesn't display correctly. I've reproduced this in a sample and will create a support ticket so you can see it. The problem for me is that I have some older code that isn't yet ready for strict doctype so I need to leave this in there. I guess I'll have to look into creating a separate master page just for the report viewer.

I had to do two things.
1) Use the div around the report viewer as described above
2) Remove the doctype from my master page. I ended up having to create a separate master page just for my report viewer page to support this.
