Display Birt engine report on iPad [message #947048]

Hello,

We need your help with a problem when displaying a Birt report on an iPad using Safari and iOS6.

We created a report using the Birt engine and inserted it into a liferay portal. When accessing the report from a desktop environment it displays OK but when accessing it from an iPad (on IOS 6) the iframe starts growing up and by the time it really shows up it is a very small portion of the full redered page on the iPad.

This is a dynamic report based on two parameters that must be selected before the execution.

We published the original frame set that comes out of Birt and noticed the same behavior even outside liferay or other CMS portals such as Joomla. We have come to the conclusion that there is a parameter built in the Birt's master document that is somehow misinterpreted on Safari IOS6 creating the endless growing behavior.

Has anyone encountered the same problem? Can you point us on the right direction in order to solve this issue?

Thanks,
Tony

A couple of my reports continually grow and move to the right when
displaying on the iPad with iOS5. Since they work Ok on the PC and Mac with
Safari it must be an iPad Safari issue.

Are you setting this render option?
HTMLRenderOption options = new HTMLRenderOption();
options.setOutputFileName("output/resample/renderoptions.html");
options.setOutputFormat("HTML");
options.setViewportMeta("width=device-width");
