I have an iframe embedded deep within a webpage, this iframe is intended for displaying various SSRS reports. It used to work in ie9 and ie10 (still seem to work in ie8 and ie11), however some "upgrade" between version 9.0.5 and 9.0.43 broke displaying SSRS in iframes. What happens is that the report gets a very narrow width rather than using the entire area, so all reports gets clipped. Reports work fine in a tab by itself, it is just iframes that seem to be broken. If "Page Width" zoom is selected it does show everything, but it tries to cram it into the same very narrow space, making the text too small and unreadable. How can I get the same behavior as before (as ie8 and ie11) where it utilizes the entire width for the report instead of clipping the report? 100% width is specified on the iframe, however it does not seem to be pushed down. The top parameter seem okey, it is the report section. The zoom select button is not shown on ie11, not sure if that is related or not. Seems like regardless of what parameters I enter, they are all ignored. Tried this
rs:Format=HTML4.0&rv:ToolBarItemsDisplayMode=143&rv:DocMapAreaWidth=1500&rs:Command=Render
and it does not have any effect on output nor toolbar.
I have read about this issue elsewhere, however all "solutions" seem to be to revert the entire webpage back ie8 compatibility mode, that is just not an option that is feasible for me due to the complexity of the web application.
The iframe I use looks like this
<iframe src='http://Host/ReportServer_SQLSERVER2008R2/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?%2fBase%2fPeakRate&rs:Command=Render' style='width: 100%; height: 100%'/>
After many trial and errors and scouring through obscure websites describing internet explorer quirkiness etc. I found that using an
<object data="xx"/>
tag instead of
<iframe src="xx"/>
seemed to solve the problem. Also Compatibility View had to be turned on. Apparently ie9 does not handle iframes the way that other browsers does.

I recently tried to load a tool on my phone that I develop that is hosted internally where I work.
A few things looked off, which I expected. But one particular element seemed to be extra odd.
I eventually loaded the page in Chrome on a MacBook Pro and used the "Device Toolbar" feature to render it in my Desktop browser like it would on a phone. To keep a private application private I will demonstrate with Google.com. This is what I see:
That's the body element highlighted in blue. The html element is the same.
This is what I see in my application too and explains what I'm seeing when actually using my phone.
I can't, for the life of me, understand why these elements chose this size. There is no explicit "width" for these elements, nor is there "max-width" etc. Nothing that I can see that should cause this behavior.
Can anyone explain this behavior?
UPDATE
It appears that there is some odd behavior with Dev Tools. Proper mobile testing probably shouldn't be done this way (Feel free to change my mind, Google...) but the issue stands that sometimes, the body element doesn't stretch to accommodate its content.
By default, block-level elements, including <body>, do not expand to fit their content, but rather will expand to the width of its container. See the spec for detailed information.
See this fiddle demonstrating this. If you resize the panels/window you'll see the body width changing based on the viewport, but the content width has absolutely no effect.
This SO question has more information: Why isn't <body> expanding to fit its contents?
Another issue that's not helping is related to the Chrome dev tools device toolbar. Changing the zoom, disabling and re-enabling the device toolbar and its settings can be buggy and is not always reliable. I have spent hours chasing issues that didn't actually exist because the device toolbar functionality misled me.
I have a site (http://www.iproconnect.com.au/) that for one user (that I know of) renders the home page with black areas in Firefox. These do not seem to be tied to CSS, as if I force a re-draw of an affected area (e.g. by scrolling areas in and out of the viewport) it sometimes renders correctly, and sometimes incorrectly but differently to the previous incorrectly. Also if I do this with the inspector open, no CSS seems to change, and hovering background URLs show the image downloaded correctly.
I can't reproduce this in other installations of Firefox (all running the same version - fully up to date). And this user has un-installed and re-installed with no change in behavior.
I don't even know how to debug this further, let alone how to solve. Any ideas greatly appreciated.
The website I'm developing suddenly stopped working properly. The images on my Homepage appear sliced and in weird places (however when inspecting source and hovering over certain elements, the highlighted content seems to be in the right place), some hover on effects don't work and some text doesn't render.
Everything works properly in all other browsers except for Google Chrome. I cannot think of any other thing I've updated in the source code than executing svginjection plugin.
I uploaded my backed up files that used to work before, but the problem still occurs. It doesn't show up on every single computer, just on some (and I've checked it on multiple machines, both - Mac and Windows).
Just to clarify, I did clear the cache, I did check in the Incognito mode, I did restart my computer. None of these helped. I'm also 80% sure that problem only occurs on computers, on which this website was previously opened (the pattern I noticed after making around 10 tests at work).
Thanks for any help
Aight, so after going through all my files, trying to disable multiple options, etc... Everything is fixed now. If you do have similar problem, go through your css files and disable all webkit powered transforms and transitions, cause apparently enough is enough and if you have too many, Chrome just won't handle it. I managed to still reuse some of them, so... Must have caused some glitch in the matrix and that's why it all got messed up. For weirdly positioned images check z-index of parent container.
Background info: I'm working on a public facing website for our company. developing in VS2012, asp.net and vb.net, using some JS, some JQuery, and a decent amount of CSS.
Everything was looking great in our internal testing, until someone checked from home, where they only had IE 9. Suddenly, big chunks of text within expanding panels weren't being displayed, the bottom of the page was missing in most cases, some links that call javascript functions don't do anything... It's so random that the only reason I think they're connected is that it only happens in IE9 (or probably before, though no one has looked.)
I tried setting the standards mode to edge in the web.config. (tried setting it to IE10 as well, just to try) I've played with changing some positioning, heights in px instead of %, relative to fixed positioning, tried inserting the html5shiv, removing the gradients... nothing has changed. Everything displays correctly, until it doesn't display at all. When I was starting to see and research this last week, I thought I'd found an article somewhere that said there were limits on the CSS tags you could use in a page for IE9, but that number was WAY higher than anything I'm using, including both what's on the page directly, and incorporating the .css file. The only other clue is that it looks like at the bottom, where the missing stuff starts, I also lose the gradient from the page background (so just a block of all white, however if I play with the size of the window, sometimes I can get this block to slide down, and I can see another line or two that was originally hidden...
Has anyone had issues like this? The site works perfect in chrome, ff, IE10 and 11, several Linux browsers, opera, safari, from macs, pcs, and Linux boxes. everything except this old IE 9.
HELP?
Just a little hack fix I found, if anyone comes across this question looking for similar answers... I created a new css file implemented when IE9 browsers are detected, and I extended the min-height for the content of pages until every page displayed... the drawback is that on those longer pages, if the content isn't expanded, the footer still lies several scrolls down... but this only happens on the very content-lengthy pages, so while it isn't ideal, I guess it's good enough, if someone's ok with using outdated browser technology :/
I have a weird one: on my site http://tustincommercial.com some pages are aligned slightly differently from others, giving a jumping effect.
Compare http://tustincommercial.com vs http://tustincommercial.com/who-we-are to see the effect.
The markup is identical, apart from the content in the middle. The same CSS is being applied.
Now, the real killer is that this difference disappears when developer tools are open. All browsers (IE8, Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Opera) show the difference when developer tools are not open. None of them show the difference when their developer tools are open.
Any ideas on the best way to find and fix the source of the difference?
The issue comes from the scrollbar appearing when your content goes past the bottom of the window. When the developer tools are open all pages need to scroll, so the jump disappears.
There are a few ways to fix this, but I currently can't tell you what would be best for your site. You could make it fixed width, you could try using max-width, or you could force the scroll bar to always be present:
html {
overflow-y: scroll;
}
