Firefox 5/6 Issue with Report Viewer...

johnfron

There is a bug when using the Report Viewer with Firefox 5/6. After a few hours of debugging I was able to locate the bug. In the iportal/jsapi/actuateAPI.js there is a bug when injecting code into Firefox. I update the updateContent function of the actuate.util.content.HtmlContainer.prototype object to the following: 
 
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>updateContent: function (content, callback) {
this._processStyleTags(content);
this._pasteContent(content);
var utility = actuate.util.Utility;
/* Firefox 5/6 Fix!!!! */
/* if (!utility.isBrowser(utility.BROWSER_MOZILLA, utility.BROWSER_FIREFOX)) { */
this._htmlUtility.executeInlineScripts(this._container)
/* } */
if (callback) {
this._window.setTimeout(callback, 1)
}
},
</pre>
It appears that the newer versions of Firefox now require a manual execution of inline scripts... 
 
Hope this helps someone in the future that is faced with this problem!

Hi johnfron,
Thanks for your investigation. Please note that Firefox 5 is not yet supported in the current release of BIRT Viewer (version 11 sp1). There is a new release around the corner (version 11 sp2) that will start supporting Firefox 5, please stay tuned.

I've found a workaround, here is the detail <a class='bbc_url' href='http://isolasoftware.it/2011/09/14/birtjavascript/.'>http://isolasoftware.it/2011/09/14/birtjavascript/.</a> The idea is to change 
 
// Internet Explorer has a funky execScript method that makes this easy 
if ( window.execScript ){ 
window.execScript( scripts.innerHTML ); 
 
with 
 
// Internet Explorer has a funky execScript method that makes this easy 
if ( window.execScript ){ 
window.execScript( scripts.innerHTML );

with (window) { 
window.eval(scripts.innerHTML); 
}

Hi BIRT, 
As of today, the latest version of FireFox release is v9. 
But BIRT v11sp2 still supports only upto FireFox5 
BIRT is deifinetly behind the show. 
 
What are your plans to catch up with FireFox? 
 
Can you please point me to other supported browsers for BIRT v11sp2 
 
Thanks,

Hi Prasad,
Firefox is on a rapid release cycle where is comes out with a new release every 6 weeks. Actuate's release cycle is not that frequent and it makes every effort to support the browser version that is in production at the time of its release. It supports Firefox version 7 in the latest release (11 sp3) and I am sure it will catch up with more recent releases in the upcoming releases. Here is the link to technical specs where you can find information on other browser supported:
