Reporting Service Pagination Problem with IE - reporting-services

I am using Reporting Services SSRS Version 15.0.1102.675 on Windows Server 2019 Standard and accessing it from Windows 10 Pro using IE browser, when opening the page I get strange names on the page controls for example: instead of right arrow > I get the letter D (for Next) and I get the letter C instead of having the left arrow <.
I tried to reset the settings of the browser to the default but it didn't help. Browsing in Chrome seems to work just fine and as expected. Please see the attached picture.enter image description here

The google translator icon disappears from my address bar when I load my website

I need to be able to translate my web application into another language. I enabled the google translate extension in chrome. When I load my company website with chrome the translate icon appears and I can translate the site. I then loaded my secure web application in chrome and the translate icon disappeared. My knowledge on how the translator works with web pages in minimal at best. Any help would be appreciated as I do not know where to begin. Any links to helpful articles on how the translator does its job would also be appreciated
I also had a problem with the google translate (gt) icon disappearing from the right side of the Chrome address bar. I believe I caused the problem myself as I was trying to come up with a way to use it to switch languages quickly using Keyboard Maestro.
I keep 2 Chrome windows open with 2 different gmail accounts, and the gt icon was only missing from one of the windows. I tried many things and couldn't get the gt icon to come back.
Eventually, I was able to fix the problem based on the procedure described on this page, which suggests going to this address: chrome://settings/languages to make sure the Offer to translate pages that aren't in a language you read option is on in the Languages section, as shown in this image:
In my case, the option was already set to on. So I turned it off, logged out of the account associated with that Chrome window, closed that browser window, and when I opened a fresh browser window for that gmail account the gt icon was back.
I'm using Chrome Version 96.0.4664.93 on a MacAir (M1, 2020) running MacOS 12.0.1

Date Picker(Calendar icon) for SSRS parameter are not displayed in Microsoft Edge

The web application that i am working on now able to display the SSRS Report in Internet Explorer11.
Problem: When I try to run the web application in Edge Browser, the calendar icon disappears on Edge browser. I did some research and found out that Microsoft Edge did not support calendar control in SSRS till SSRS-2014. Besides I tried to change the meta tag in reportviewer.aspx to make it compatible with Edge browser. Unfortunately, I cannot apply this method as it will affect other system report that using another browser (server-side).
Add on: The web application need to launch in Microsoft Edge based on the requirements.
Anyone have any idea/alternative to solve this issues.
Thanks,
Taeron
From your tag, I gather that you are using SSRS 2008. Calender's do no render in Edge as it is HTML 5 (if I'm not wrong!). You either need to use an older version of Internet Explorer.. or upgrade your SSRS instance to a newer version.

Displaying Emoji in Google Chrome

I have a Google Chrome Extension that supports chat. The chrome extension displays the messages sent to you in desktop notification. I have noticed that whenever I send an emoji from an iPhone, it correctly displays in the Desktop notification. But when I try to display the same emoji in the actual application (it's an iframe injected into the page), it appears as a square.
Seems like there's an open bug at https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=62435.
I was wondering why it works correctly in Desktop Notification and not otherwise? Also, is there anything I can do to fix it?
I just implemented Emoji support in my extension using the open-source Twemoji library.
In the simplest form, it involves adding a .js file and calling a function on a DOM element to replace Unicode emoji with Twitter CDN provided images:
twemoji.parse(node);
See the repository readme for more options.
Chrome will now support emojis natively (only OSX). You can wait a few weeks until the stable version is released with this feature, or you can download the dev-version form here, that already contains this feature.
Btw, if you want to test if it works, you can use this page (works like a charm).
You can view emoji with a Chrome extension called Chromoji.
It works on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux as well.
Solved by adding Emojis - Emoji Keyboard extension to Chrome.
Additionally, I checked that the Chromoji - Emojis for Google Chrome extension also works.
1st Note: Emojis appear everywhere on the page except for inputs and textarea.
2nd Note: Any of these extensions additionally give us the ability to search for emojis along with the possibility of copying them.
I saw this problem could be solved by updating Internet Explorer to version 11 under Windows 7 x64 (several computers affected, all solved).
In my case, it was because I formatted the pc with pure, no-servicepacked Windows 7 x64. After SP1 on Windows 7 and IE11 have installed, all browsers started to show the emojis correctely. I used for test this site.
If the page shows squares all around the page, the error is not solved. If the page shows several kinds of symbols, than the error is eliminated.
Please tell us if this workaround was effective.

xulrunner 17.0.1 browser content links require doubleclick (instead of a single click) on Mac OSX 10.7.x

I am using xulrunner 17.0.1 to convert a web base HTML 5 application to a standalone desktop application. The target platforms are Window XP + and Mac 10.6 +.
While I am able to package and run my HTML 5 application with XULRunner on window without any trouble, I am facing a weird issue on the Mac. Everything seems to be working fine except for I have to double click (instead of single click) on a link of my HTML 5 application to make it works.
To ensure that problem is not in the HTML 5 application I opened mozilla/other websites in the browser component and found that problem is with any content.
Is there any preference setting that I need to change?
Thanks

I figured out the cause of the problem. I was running my application from Terminal and somehow the focus was always going back to the terminal window, therefore the link were working on double click only. On first click my application window was getting the focus and on second click the link was registering the click event. Similarly the text box were also not taking inputs from keyboard.
I packaged my application as an app using the guidelines provided at "https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/XULRunner/Deploying_XULRunner_1.8" and that solved all the problems. Everything started working as per expectation.

How do I build my website in Firefox?

Here's an easy question. How do I configure Visual Studio 2008 to build my webpage in a certain browser? I really want to build in all 5 well-known browsers (IE, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and Safari), but right now I am having to right click the actual html files and open them in different browsers. In dreamweaver, there is a simple dropdownlist for this...what does visual studio have?
Firsty, you don't build your site for each different web browser. You build one website that's standards-compliant and will work in all browsers.
Having said that, you will probably have to use some non-standard "hacks" to get Internet Explorer to behave as the other browsers do because older versions of IE don't follow web standards.
You should setup your website in IIS using IIS Manager. Then you can run your website in whatever browser you like using a URL like http://localhost/YourWebsite/
Here's an article on creating a website in IIS: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323972
Alternatively if you want to use the web server that's built into Visual Studio you can right-click one of the pages in your project, select Browse with.. and use the Browse With dialog to set the default browser. Once you've done this you can run your site in the default browser by pressing F5.
See this page for switching the default browser. As far as a dropdown to easily switch like Dreamweaver, there may be a plugin.
Right Click on an Aspx page, choose "Browse With...", and set Firefox as Default.
I like the site browsershots.org, submit your URL and it shows how it looks in different browsers on different operating systems. After a minute or 2 I got back 42 different shots.... good to know I look good on FireFox 3.0.4 on MAC OS X 10.6 :).
