BIRT 3.7.1 Report Designer popup Parameter Selection Page with no Content

<p>Hi,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Recently I ran a report with a required parameter on Birt 3.7.1 Report Designer. The problem is after I run as either HTML, PDF from report designer, the Parameter Selection Page is popup but there is no parameter field you can select or fill in. It just a blank page. I re-installed the 3.7.1 report desingner based on Maximo recent doc and configured, the result is the same. I am not sure what causes this. From Data Set I created, I can click Preview Results to view the result (SQL is good).</p>
<p>I even changed the Eclipse Web Browser to use either System Browser or External browser, the result is the same.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Is there any idea or suggestion about this problem?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Report Designer is on my local work station with Windows 7. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thank you ahead!</p>
<p> </p>

<p>P.S. After I click the Preview Results from DataSet and display the result, I click OK button to dismiss the dataset, There is error in DOS Prompt that "mxReportScriptContent" is not defined. See attached.</p>

<p>I am having the same issue for all reports. I am converting 2.6.1 and Actuate 10 reports to 3.7.1 and I get the Parameter Popup, but it is empty. I tried creating a new report and get the same results. I have also created a simple report using the sample database and get the same results. I downloaded and tried the same reports with 3.7.2 and the same thing happens with it. I am also running Windows 7 with Oracle 11g. -- Jerry</p>

<p>Try to add following 2 rows to the eclipse.ini (in the eclipse folder) and check Default System Browser:</p>
<p> </p>
<div>-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=ie,mozilla</div>
<div>-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.IEVersion=7000</div>

<p>I did add these two lines at the end of eclipse.ini file before but it did not solve the problem.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Today I found out it is IE version 11 causing problem.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I uninstalled the IE 11. Birt 3.7.1 parameter dialog popups now.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>

<div>-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.IEVersion=9999</div>
<div>to the eclipse.ini file and then added 127.0.0.1 to the compatibility websites and also checked display intranet sites in Compatibility View.</div>
