❌ Figure: Bad example - SQL RS does not work in Chrome by default

This issue is caused by Reporting Services emitting Quirks Mode HTML, to fix this make the following changes to the ReportingServices.js file the full path to this file is:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10_50.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportManager\js\ReportingServices.js

Add the following java script:

function pageLoad() {
var element = document.getElementById("ctl31_ctl10");
if (element)
{
       element.style.overflow = "visible";
} }

Once this change is made reports will be visible.
