Getting bobj is undefined when report is viewed in Internet Explorer 8

Background
We are running a web application on a server that has "BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 FP 2.6 Update" installed on it.
The server uses the 1.1 .net framework.
This web app can generate Crystal reports and display them either by exporting to pdf, or by using the CrystalReportViewer control.
(The CrystalDecisions references in the sln for the website are using version 12.0.1100.0.
The web app is a custom web app that is not defined in iis at the default level. It lives as a virtual website under the default website and uses the crystalreportviewers12 virtual directory.)
when the browser displays a report by exporting to pdf, it works just fine.
Here is our issue:
When the browser displays a report by using the CrystalReportViewer control using Internet Explorer 8 (IE8), it generates a javascript error:
'bobj' is undefined
Here are a few peculiar things on this:
- the report displays ok for other IE8 users (so the issue only occurs for select IE8 users).
- the report displays ok in ie6.
- One notable observation is that IE8 has different sets of options amongst browsers. We compared 2 machines that didnu2019t work, with 1 machine that does work. All 3 sets of IE8 settings differ in one way or another.
Does anyone know if this is an issue that that can be fixed through an IE8 setting? Or does it need to be fixed elsewhere? Thank you!

Hi Brownie,
We only support IE 8 in Compatibility mode. Try selecting that option in the Browser and test again
Thank you
Don

APEX 4.0 Getting gReport is undefined when pulling IR report from Page2

The below function used work perfectly in APEX 3.2 for

Hi Senthil,
I think that the reason this no longer works is due to internal changes we made to the Interactive Report JavaScript. These changes affected both how the IRR JS file was added to a page and also how the gReport variable is initialised.
I would like to give you a few pointers as to what's changed and how you can get this working, but please bear in mind that doing these types of customisations is always going to be risky, due to the fact undocumented HTML that we output is always subject to change in future releases of APEX and cannot be relied upon as remaining the same.
In 4.0, the IRR JS file is only included on a page where there is an IRR, so you're page 2. And unfortunately, due to the way you crop your response from page 2, this file is not being included in page 1 after the PPR. You therefore either need to change the way you crop the success data, or just include the apex_interactive_reports_4_0.js file on your page 1.
Also in 4.0, we have also cleaned up a lot of initialisation JS code that we used to emit inline, that is now added at the end of the web document in a jQuery 'ready' handler. 1 such example of this code was the initialisation of the gReport variable in IRRs. This used to be emitted inline and was actually included inside of the snippet you crop within page 2 response. Which was all good. Now though, because this is done at the end of the response, which is outside of what you crop, this is no longer executed. Try adding the following initilialisation at the end of you 'success' callback:
gReport = new apex.worksheet.ws('');
gValid = new apex.validation.v();Again, to re-iterate!! Internal and undocumented code such as this is always subject to change and should not be relied upon as remaining the same in future releases of APEX. Only supported APIs and methods should be relied upon as being backwards compatible.
Anthony.

Error: 'bobj' is undefined - crystal report for VS2013 - please help ASAP

Currently we are trying to migrate from VS2008 to VS2013 and we installed Microsoft Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 on a windows 7 laptop. All our crystal report programs are migrated to VS2013. I downloaded Crystal report Support Pack 10 (v. 13.0.10.1385) executable version and installed it. Then opened our old project (from vs2008) in VS2013 and it went through the conversion process. Later I opened each .rpt file and saved in VS2013 so that the crystal report files will be saved in the new format.
I am getting the Error: 'bobj' is undefined when I try to run the report. Am I using the correct service pack 10, or should I use service pack 9. I have read through all the posts related to this error in earlier version of VS. Is there any correct fixes for VS2013?
This is urgent, I am stuck with this error. please help??? Thank you.

Date not showed when report is viewed in PDF .

Hi,
We have a text field that shows the date on which the report is running.Date is not showed when report is viewed in PDF.But in HTML we can view them . Can any one help me out?
Totally there are four pages for the report.

I have observed the PDF driver iin EPM 11.1.2.x is not up-to-date and technically the Date (Text) is there just like in HTML. However, when you increase the View (Zoom in), it eventually does show up.
I have chatted with Oracle Support, and they will not address it with a patch for now.

Menu positioning problem when viewing in Internet explorer on a pc

Hi guys,
I have created a website for a football team and I am having problems with the menu. It looks fine in all browsers apart from Internet Explorer. The menu positioning is meant to be on the left hand side but shows far right on the screen when viewed in Internet Explorer. Does anyone know how I can resolve this issue?

Hopefully someone can help.
Cheers,

Hummm....its difficult to tell. Youre using so many redundant css styles ie not needed.
Youre 'leftPan' <div> container is 140px in width but your ul (unordered list inside it is 244px wide?
Why set widths and heights when they are not needed. You have no idea what height the ul and li will be in other users browsers. A child element placed inside a parent container will stretch to the full width without specifying a width for the child element. The key to web deisgn is keeping all the maths 100% correct. If you so much as get anything out by even one px it could break the design.
#leftPan{
     margin-left: 90px;
     width: 140px;
#leftPan ul{
     width:244px;
     height:250px;
     background-position: 0 0;
     padding-top: 0px;
     padding-right: 0;
     padding-bottom: 0;
     padding-left: 0;
     margin-top: 1px;
     text-decoration: none;
I see no reason why your based structure ie the 'container', 'header', 'mainpic', sidebar1 and 'mainContent' should not work in all browsers. Now what you have inside those may be casuing the conflict. I would strip the page back to the base structure (check that it does work in all browsers) then begin to fill the containers, checking as you go.

Where can I get the plug in for firefox so I can view like internet explorer...

where can I get the plug in for firefox so I can view like internet explorer...

There are 2 versions of the add-on, [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10909/ IE Tab Plus] and [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/92382/ IE Tab 2]. They both perform the same function of opening Internet Explorer inside a Firefox tab, the main difference between the two is that IE Tab Plus also supports the Adblock Plus add-on being used inside the IE tab and can synchronize cookies.

Why can't I view a preview page of an item I list on ebay in Firefox. I can view in internet explorer

Prior till about 24 hours ago, I was able to preview an item that I listed on ebay without any problems. Now I cannot preview the item in Firefox, but I can preview the item in internet explorer. What might be causing this?
Thanks,

Are you trying to use the built-in Print Preview in Firefox, or is this a page specially generated by eBay?
Do you get an error message when trying to view the page, or nothing happens when you click the link/button, or ... what exactly happens?
In case you haven't already...
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
In case one of your extensions is involved, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

Why am suddenly unable to view YouTube Videos on Firefox. I am still able to view on Internet Explorer

I am not able to view any YouTube videos on YouTube or Facebook whilst using Firefox. My Flash Player/Plugin/Shockwave Player & Javascript are all the most recent and all show as up to date and working. On selecting a video to view I now have a blank screen which I have right clicked on & notice there is an Adhoc Plus - Block Image message and wonder if this should be there as this is not the case when viewing through Internet Explorer (which still allows me to view all videos & shows that I have Flash Player installed when I right click on the same screen). I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled to see if this would solve the problem but this has made no difference. I have also noticed on my Firewall that Javascript is not showing as an Exception and changed this to find that this has made no difference either. I am now at a complete loss - can anyone help me please as I would like to keep using Firefox. Many thanks

There are a number of active threads concerning the latest Flash player plugin (11.3) and the latest Firefox (13). Not all users are experiencing the same issues, but things to check include the following:
- Conflict with Realplayer Browser Record plugin (to disable this, open Add-ons from the orange Firefox button or the classic Tools menu and look under the Extensions and Plugins categories)
- Conflict with Flash 11.3 Protected Mode (see [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071?tstart=0 Adobe Forums: How do I disable Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?])
Scanning down the front of the forums probably will yield additional suggestions: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions
Please post back with your results.

Trouble viewing in Internet Explorer

Hello,
I created a website in Dreamweaver CS3 and everything was
going fine until I uploaded it and discovered that most of the
content could not be viewed (mostly the flash stuff). I then
discovered that Dreamweaver had randomly inserted <noscrript>
tags for my flash content, so I deleted the <noscript> I then
viewed the page using Firefox in Dreamweaver and all the flash
content had doubled up (it was showing replica images stacked on
top of each other), I then uploaded it and discovered that you can
view it just fine in Firefox and other web browsers but NOT
Internet Explorer which shows the content on the firs page but does
not show 90% of the content (all flash) on the other pages.
The issues
• Firefox (within Dreamweaver) displays doubled up
images after I deleted the <noscript> tags.
• Most of the content of the site can not be viewed
with Internet Explorer
The web address for the site is www.behel-witham.co.uk
I really appreciate all your help
Thanks
Adam

> <noscrript> tags for my flash content
You are mistaken. DW didn't insert anything randomly. The
<noscript> tags
are in systematic locations and they are there for a good
reason. By
hacking into this you have destroyed the accessability of the
page.
Revert to the original code, and post a link to the page,
please.

Why do I keep getting message "please close the following programs to continue Internet Explorer?"

Even when Task Manager indicates that Internet Explorer 10 is not running, I keep getting this message at 50% Adobe Flash Installation: "please close the following programs to continue Internet Explorer"

Use the Task Manager's Processes tab to end all iexplore.exe instances.

Could you post an example of the filter message?
This article has more information on the filters built in to Firefox: [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/phishing-protection/ Firefox Phishing and Malware Protection].
It's possible that you also have a Firefox add-on, or external software, that is filtering what you see. However, we don't have enough information to help identify it yet. If you want to review a list of your add-ons, you can find them under: Help > Troubleshooting Information.

Thick line in questionbox when opening the form in internet explore

When I open my form in firefox, everything appears correctly but when I open it in internet explore there are some thick lines in 2 questionboxes. How can i change this? I don´t see these lines when I create my form.

To add a screenshot to the forum you actually need to login to the forum from your browser and do this directly in on the forum site. Click here http://forums.adobe.com/message/5625059 to go to this post (i.e you can't just reply from your email client with an image).
I opened your form in IE and I don't see the thick lines that you are talking about. Can you try to add a screenshot again (from the forum website this time). Also what version of Internet Explorer are you using?

SharePoint 2013 - document libraries and newsfeeds are visible when viewed using Internet Explorer running on the server but not from any other machine

On a single Windows 2012 R2 server I have installed SQL 2012 and SharePoint 2013 SP1 with the latest update roll ups. When I remote desktop to the server using the farm and site collection admin account and open page http://server_name_here using
Internet Explorer, I'm able to see newsfeeds and document libraries.
If I connected to a separate Windows 7 machine as the farm and site collection admin account and open page http://server_name_here using Internet Explorer, I'm able to view the SharePoint pages except I cannot see any newsfeeds or document libraries.
There's just blank space where they should be. I have repeated this process on several other machines that are not the server and get the same result on every machine (I've tried other servers, desktops, adding the SharePoint site to the trusted sites list
in IE, even using firefox). I'm using the same account as I did when I logged onto the server directly. Any thoughts as to what's going on?
Thanks!

Thanks for the idea, Harsh. What am I looking for?
It is currently set to the default of http://server_name and http://server_name:port_number (the latter is for Central Admin).
When I have access to the server, I have always done so the same way, using http://server_name. This was true when I access it from the desktop of the server itself and when I tried to access it from other desktops and servers (the machines where I had the
issues with the libraries and feeds not showing up). Are there other values I should add?
I have not tried to add http://server_FQDN as we don't plan on using that to access it but if you think it will help I would be happy to add it.

Cannot get Excel Report to display on Internet Explorer

Hi,
We have an issue with displaying Excel reports on IE on some client machines. A window just pops up and closes. The reports run fine on Firefox and I was able to run it on IE earlier. I had this report working before on all application servers. Now I cannot get output on browser from dev. and test app servers after a small fix in the report. But I can still run the production version.
Note that I can get the Excel output when I use 'getjobid' from an url :
http://server:port/reports/rwservlet/getjobid1887?server=xxx&mimetype=application/vnd.ms-excel
This is the code to output the report:
SHOWDOCINFO :='/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||JOBID||'?server='||REPORTSERVER||'&mimetype=application/vnd.ms-excel';
The funny thing is my colleague can run the report on his pc without any problem. Is there some issue with the browser setting ?

Yes. I use WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT in the calling form. The window that pops up is an IE window. Yes we both use IE 7.0.
I noticed today that if I uncheck the 'always ask before opening this type of file' on the File Download window, I can get it to work. How do I change this setting?
