Hello all,
My problem is that I have a table with very long strings. These long strings doesn't fit the screen size, exceeds the screen size and therefore a horizontal scroll bar appears in the browser. I don't want to define a static length for the table, grid etc. Because it will differ from monitor to monitor. And %100 is not working as I want. So what I wrote a script in the report's beforafactory, afterfactory, beforerender, afterrender, onpagestart events. Because I don't know exactly in which event I shoul write it. Whatever the script is this:
reportContext.getReportRunnable().designHandle.getDesignHandle().findMasterPage("SimpleMasterPage").setProperty("width",screen.width+"px")
This script doesn't work. Whereas when I write it like the one below it works.
reportContext.getReportRunnable().designHandle.getDesignHandle().findMasterPage("SimpleMasterPage").setProperty("width",1440+"px")
Some friends may say that masterpage doesn't accept "px" and that It only accepts metric units. Actually it works, because the second script is functionin normally. But Fyi I have also tried writing "mm" instead of "px" still the same. The first one works the second one doesn't.
I am using designer 2.5.2 and reportviewer 2.6.1
Any ideas why screen.width doesnt work?

Those event handlers work on the server and do not have visibility into
what the client browser settings are set to. One option may be to put a
bookmark property on the table, something like "mytable"; and then add
a text element to the top of the report that is set to html and has
following code in it:
<script type="text/javascript">
function setWidth() {
var myTable = document.getElementById('mytable');
theTable.style.width = (document.body.clientWidth*.8) +'px';
}
setWidth();
</script>
