Reporting Services report hangs in Internet Explorer only

I have a SSRS2008R2 report that runs just fine through Chrome and Firefox but will not run at all in Internet Explorer. I have tried IE9, IE10, and IE11 but I get the same results. I just get the green 'Loading' circle but the report never opens. I can run exactly the same report with the same parameters in Chrome and Firefox and it returns within about 2 seconds. This is a multi-page report with page breaks set. Other than that, I cannot think of anything unusual about the report.

Any ideas why this is happening?

Solution

  • I've had the same issue with IE10 and IE11 (don't know about IE9) and if I put the browser in compatibility mode the report ran fine.

    Here's how to put IE10 into compatibility mode http://techathlon.com/internet-explorer-10-run-compatibility-mode/

    Update

    This issue can also be fixed by upgrading to the Reporting Services that comes with SQL Server 2012.
