How to get SSRS reports working in Google Chrome
- On your SSRS server locate the ReportingServices.js file. Normally you can find it in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10_50.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportManager\js\ReportingServices.js"
- Edit the file, append this to the end of the file
function pageLoad() { var element = document.getElementById("ctl31_ctl09"); if (element) { element.style.overflow = "visible"; } }
Many thanks to the guys on StackOverflow for that one.

Notes: Any activex control such as Print Control and Zoom Controls will still not work in Chrome. This is because only Internet explorer will support the use of such controls.
