Hello,
I have a report with a Date/Time parameter called "From Date". When I view the report in Internet Explorer, the parameter has a calendar icon next to it which can be clicked to display a calendar.
But in Google Chrome, the same report does NOT display this calendar icon.
Does anyone know why and how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

MS has posted information on Reporting Services and non-Internet Explorer browsers, which indicates that these features are not supported or give inconsistent results in "third party" browsers:
· Document map
· Searching within the report
· Zoom
· Fixed table headers
· The Calendar control
· Image source files that are retrieved from remote computers may not display correctly.
· The client-side print control used for printing HTML reports.
I use Google Chrome as my primary browser (actually IRON ) and found that some sites will not work in Chrome, specifically pages that run ASP. As a workaround, I have installed an Chrome extension that will run IE in a Chrome Tab and then set these sites to use the IE extension.

Many thanks for the reply, SSCrazy. I found the microsoft article explaining this and have pasted it below for others who might want to read up more on this issue.

In my view, I think it is a serious flaw in SSRS that it cannot be rendered in a third party browser. Either SSRS should work with any standard internet browser, or it should run from a specific client SSRS viewer application. This in between situation (where the SSRS will supposedly deliver web pages to a browser, but will only work correctly with IE) is bound to cause many development and deployment headaches.
What do other people think about this?
