Viewer HTML not working in IE within iframe [message #690202]

I'm running the BIRT Viewer 3.7 in Tomcat. Its output is embedded by a web app within an iframe. This setup works correctly in Firefox 5 and Chrome 12 when displaying HTML reports, as well as embedded PDFs.

In IE 9 however, the rendering of the HTML reports is halted by javascript errors before anything useful is displayed. If I open the same report outside of the iframe in IE, it works nicely.

I also reproduced the problem with a blank HTML page containing just an iframe that points a simple report served as a preview in Eclipse, so this is not related to the webapp or server setup.

I'm not sure what to do next.

Here's what I can see from the IE debugger.

Stack :
First call to BirtReportDocument.initialize()
__neh_resize()
__updateContainerSize()
In AbstractBaseReportDocument.js line 171-174, reportContainer is a text node and therefore has no style attribute.

Skipping past the errors, I get the "Processing, please wait..." box and the POST request that I see happening in Firefox is not sent.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I didn't realize that I should have used /preview, which directly outputs the formatted HTML. The problem I reported above affects /run.

Can you open a bugzilla entry for this?
