DateTime picker and the ReportViewer

DateTime picker and the ReportViewer

  visual studio was the problem for me. when I ran my report outside of visual studio, it worked great. So I can just ignore that error because it won't show up in production. I like those kinds of errors.

  the control does show. But when you click on the calendar icon the popup calendar does not show up and the page simply reloads.

  Are you explictly setting relative or absolute positioning on any of the controls on your page If so, does using the default cause the calendar to show up

  I'm getting a similar problem. The following message is displayed to the client when the calendar icon is click and a date is selected.
  
  Microsoft JScript runtime error: 'resultfield.id' is null or not an object
  
  After investigating the problem further using the javascript debuuger I found that the problem was being caused in the ClickDay function, the following line being the culprit:
  
  var eltValidator=win.parent.document.getElementById(ifrm.resultfield.id+g_strDatePickerRangeValidatorID);
  
  I've look at the supplied Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0 application supplied with SQL Server
  Express 2005 Reporting Services and there version works fine without any errors.
  
  http://localhost/ReportServer$SQLExpress/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx
  
  If anybody could shed anymore light on the problem or a suggestion for a workaround, that would be great!!!.

  Can you be more specific about how it doesn't work Do you get an error message Does the calendar not show up at all

  Now I am getting the javascript error when selecting a date on a page with no layout and only the ReportViewer control. The confusing thing is that it doesn't happen on every run which lead to a misdiagnosis of the cause.

  The error:

  resultfield.id is null or not an object

  occurs in ClickDay on the line:

  var eltValidator=win.parent.document.getElementById(ifrm.resultfield.id+g_strDatePickerRangeValidatorID);

  I tried running the application outside of the Visual Studio environment and it works fine (so far).

  Therefore, it may be that the error only occurs when the application is run under visual studio.

  I figured out the cause on my case. The evil Reporviewer does not generate the apropiate javascript code when inside a master page.

  I removed the master page code from my aspx page and sure enough the date controls work!!!

  I hope  this helps,

  I am also having this problem, anyone have a solution, or does the reportviewer control just flat out not work
  
  

• Michael Pollard

  We are also having this problem. We're not using master pages incidentally. Anyone have an update on this
  

• JosRyan

  Leung, I get the exact same error. I am at a loss here. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem

  I have similar problems...... a javascript error (saying "object required") when I click on the calendar icon next to the textbox and then the page just reloads itself.
  

• furtivefelon

  This problem does not occur because you are using a master page but because the javascript relies on the fact that the control is in a fixed position on the page. Any containing elements, divs etc. that use relative positioning cause the javascript for this control to fail when it tries to position the div used to display the calendar. Because of this and other reasons, I have found that it is very hard to place the reportviewer control into existing layouts (ie. a master page) and have since abandoned this approach.
