SSRS Report - background image not displaying in MHTML email
We have a report that has a rectangle with an image as a background (doesn't make any difference whether image is external, embedded, etc). The background image displays fine on the screen and when exporting to PDF, but doesn't show when emailing (via subscription)
in MHTML format and opening in MS Outlook, gmail, etc.
It seems to be a legitimate bug with SSRS (have tried in SSRS 2008 R2, 2012, 2014).
Is there a workaround? Service Pack?
Hi Corey Gray,
Per my understanding that the background image in the email subscription not display which format is MHTML, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can reproduce the issue. I deliver this report to three email amounts: Outlook, Hotmail and 163, below I will share the test results with you.
Outlook: the backgroudimage disappear in the email body and there is no one attachment being sent in the email.
Hotmail: the backgroudimage disappear in the email body, however, the backgroundimage being sent as one attachment in the email.
163: the backgroudimage displays in the email body and the backgroundimage being sent as one attachment in the email.
Based on previous test results, we can conclude that: these different scenarios caused by the settings of the email rather than Reporting Services.
If you are using Outlook, I would recommend you submit one thread in this Outlook forum,
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-us/outlook/threads.
In this forum, you can get more professional support about how to set the Outlook.
If you have any other question, please feel free to let me know.

SSRS Report Viewer control not displaying images properly
Hi All,
when i execute the report in Report Manager i am able to see the report with out any issue,but when i am running the report using report viewer control images getting chopped or Croped like below screen
shot.
i am using VS.net 2012 and Sql server 2012 and calling server reports in the asp.net application using Report Viewer control version 11.0
One interesting thing is some times i am able to see the images some times not (like below screen).
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Using Report View ControlHi siva9000,
As per my understanding, there is a report with image. When you run the report in report manager, it works fine. When you run the report using report viewer control, the image could not be displayed properly.
I tried to reproduce this issue on my local machine. However, the report works fine for me when configure a ReportViewer control for remote or local processing. According to your description, the report itself has no problem. The issue may be caused by browser
or third-party plug-in. To troubleshooting the problem, please refer to the following steps:
Please run the report using IE, since other browsers may have compatibility problems.
Open the Internet options of the IE and add the web site into trusted site in the Security tab.
Please check if you installed third-party plug-in to the browser.
For more information about Configuring ReportViewer for Remote Processing, please refer to the following document:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms252075(v=vs.110).aspx
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

DIV Background image not displaying in FF
Hi!
I'm building a floated 3 column DIV layout with a wrapper to center the DIVs. I put a background image in the wrapper to give the appearance of the columns stretching to the bottom of the layout. It displays in IE, but not in FF.
If I give the wrapper a height, the background image shows, but I want the layout to expand as I enter content. My code is below.
I must be missing something. Any tips?
CSS:
#left {
float: left;
width: 200px;
#middle{
float: left;
width: 200px;
#right {
float: left;
width: 200px;
#footer {
background-color: #316262;
float: left;
width: 600px;
clear: both;
#wrapper {
width: 600px;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
background-image: url(images/bkg_css_layout.gif);
BODY CODE:
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="left">Content for "left" Goes Here</div>
<div id="middle"> Content for"middle" Goes Here </div>
<div id="right">Content for"right" Goes Here </div>
<div id="footer">Content for "footer" Goes Here</div>
</div>Turns out that I couldn't have a float on my footer with clear:both!

Background image not displaying
I'm developing pages that will each have a different background image. i've defined a div with the bg image in it and put that div in the code, but the bg image doesn't show up. i've also tried adding a bg color to the div and that doesn't show up either, so i'm sure it's not a path or file name issue. css & code below.

Background image not displaying properly
My site is not displaying correctly on mobiles and ipads. I want my background image to span the width of most widescreen monitors but it's not displaying correctly. I am sure I am doing something wrong. Also have some problems with the map not spanning the width on some devices. Any help greatly appreciated.
Website: cdic.us
Thanks in advanced.Does it help if you change this:
html, body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background-color: #F0F0E3;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
to this:
html, body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background-color: #F0F0E3;
background-repeat: repeat-y;

Background image not displaying 100% width of iphone
Hi I am getting some strange behaviour on my iphone using firefox but displaying perfectly in firefox on computer. I do not wish to submit the name of site as I do not want it to show up in search results but if anyone can help me I will pm site address. Thanks.
As the header's width is 100%, why is there the need for margin: 0 auto or text-align:center? Surely the background image should just display to 100% of the screen? Then the actual logo image that sits in the header div should have text align and margin auto yes? I know that applying these rules this way does not center the logo within the div but WHY? I have uncommented out the text align and margin auto on the header div and it displays properly on my computer but not on the iphone.
With regards to iphone the background image stops short of the logo by a small amount, I have not designed a separate style sheet for iphones, not part of the scope but as the rest of the pages display ok why does the background image stop just short of the logo image?
I really appreciate your input.
This is the CSS
#header {
width:100%;
height:117px;
padding: 0 0 0 0;
/* text-align:center;
margin:0 auto;*/
background:url(images/header-bg2.jpg) left repeat-x;}
#header a img {
border:none;
padding:0;
margin:0 auto;
text-align:center;}
<div id="header">
<a href="http://www.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.com.au"><img src="images/KPS-logo.png" width="1024" height="117" alt="xxxxxxxxxxx Logo" /></a>
</div> <!--END of header-->You have nothing defining your background image size, just the box that holds it
try adding some CSS to control the actual background image...
background-size:cover;
background-position:right top;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-atachment:fixed; -

Body background image not displaying in IE6
I've looked at lots of questions about background image problems in IE6 but didn't see an answer to this one. I have a horizontal stripe on the page that's made of a background image in the <body> tag. The home page has a different size stripe than the subpages, so on the subpages I'm using a class style to call the background image.
The home page body style looks like this:
body {
margin: 0;
padding:0;
text-align: center;
background-image:url(../images/background_banner.jpg);
background-repeat:repeat-x;
height: 100%;
And the subpages use this class style:
.subpage {
margin: 0;
padding:0;
text-align: center;
background-image:url(../images/background_banner_sub.jpg);
background-repeat:repeat-x;
height: 100%;
It works in all browsers except IE6, which loads the background image on the home page but not the subpages. So I suspect it's the class style it doesn't like. Is there an IE6 fix that will get it to work correctly?
Here's the url of a subpage.
Thanks,
R-CoWell, both fixes still don't seem to work in IE6. And for some reason, the embedded style in the home page doesn't work at all. Here's the CSS for the method using different class styles for home and subpages:
body {
margin: 0;
padding:0;
text-align: center;
.bodyhome {
background-image:url(../images/background_banner.jpg);
background-repeat:repeat-x;
height: 100%;
.subpage {
background-image:url(../images/background_banner_sub.jpg);
background-repeat:repeat-x;
height: 100%;
Here's a screen shot from Browser Lab showing what it looks like in IE6.
Any ideas?
Thanks again,

Image not displaying in HTML email upload
Hi there,
I've uploaded a HTML email into E10 and linked all images as per the standard process however one is just not displaying. It appears when I look at it in Eloqua, and when I do a preview but when I send a test email it won't and just leaves a blank black box. I'm not sure how I need to remedy this, anyone else come across anything similar?
Thanks
MarikaHi Marika,
From experience, in the majority of cases this happens when the Outlook HTML rendering engine isn't playing nice with your design. If you are using this client, have you checked the email on other clients or webmail (Gmail, Yahoo!, etc) to confirm? Support can usually help for emails created through the WYSIWIG editor, but custom HTML uploads would need to be reviewed by the person who authored the code. If you can pinpoint it to a particular email client, there are usually quite a few resources online that can provide guidance. Check outHTML Email Design Resources
The first thing I typically check out is whether the image is vertically and horizontally aligned with the elements near it, because Outlook has a tendency to put things into its own tables and slight misalignments can dramatically change the final code. If you're having recurring issues like this, investing in analysis tools like Litmus can be worth it.

OBIEE 10G Embedded Image not displayed on PDF
Hi
We have some embedded images (source on network share or on the webserver) on a dashboard. On the screen the images are displayed without problems.
But if we want to print the dashboard (f.e. PDF) the images are not printed. In html-view the images would be displayed.
Is there a known bug that images can't be printed on dashboard pages or do we have to embed them different?
Thank youHi Team,
I do face the same issue of image not displayed in only pdf output format. Our client has deployed OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1 using Weblogic application server and is accesible through a secured url access.
I have followed the fmap syntax to locate the image, also made sure the image is getting accessed through url, tried with different images of different sizes . In all cases the image display is appearing fine in HTML & Excel output. But not getting displayed only for pdf output.
Can you please help me with this regard if am missing any specific setup for pdf output. Is there is any pointers or documentation available to get around this issue.
Thanks in advance. -
OBIEE 11G Embedded Image not displayed on PDF
Hi
I have some embedded images on a dashboard. On the screen the images are displayed without problems.
But if we want to print the dashboard (f.e. PDF) the images are not printed. In html-view the images would be displayed.
All the images are referenced with the fmap path.
Any way to print the images in the pdf ?
Thank you

JPG images not displayed correctly in Bridge and Photoshop (Mac OS)
(Note: I have copied the content of this query from the Creative Suites forum where I originally opened it.)
I am using CS4 under OSX 10.4.11 on a PowerMac G5 Quad with 23" Apple cinema display. Images which have been captured as JPG are displayed fine by Preview, but when opened in Bridge, Camera Raw or Photoshop. the colours are all "washed out". The attached screen capture should give an idea of the difference, with the upper being Camera Raw (image settings) and the lower being Preview. My monitor has been calibrated and I'm using sRGB IEC61966-2.1 colour space in Camera Raw and Photoshop. The colours displayed by Preview are pretty close to "real life". I find it virtually impossible to adjust the colours in Photoshop to get back to anything similar.
After opening the image in Photoshop without adjustment, and Save As JPEG with embedded color profile, Preview displays the new image the same as Photoshop. Save As JPEG without embedded color profile, and Preview displays this copy just like the original. It seems that Photoshop is making different (incorrect) assumptions about what color space to use when there is no embedded color profile. Shouldn't it assume sRGB like virtually everything else (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRGB)? Or is its interpretation of sRGB incorrect? How can I fix this?

…If there is someone out there who has experience of obtaining decent colour management in CS4 on a Power PC, I would really like to know how you achieved it.
That would be yours truly, and I hasten to reply because I may have some insights that can help you too.
Just get it it out of the way, here's my setup:
Photoshop 11.0.2 ("CS4"); VersionCue disabled and uninstalled.—2.5 GHz Power Mac (PPC) G5-Quad; 16GB RAM; mutant, flashed 550MHz nVidia GeForce 7800GTX 1,700MHz 512MB VRAM; ATTO ExpressPCI UL5D LP SCSI card; Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11 and Leopard 10.5.8 boot drives; Spotblight, Dashboard and Time Machine permanently disabled; dual 22" CRT monitors; USB wireless 'n' available but connected to the Internet via wired Ethernet; 1 FW flatbed scanner; 2 SCSI scanners (one tabloid-size transparency scanner and a film scanner); various internal & external HDs; FW Epson 2200 and Ethernet Samsung ML-2850ND printers; 2 X Back-UPS RS 1500 XS units.
I can unambiguously and in good faith represent to you that my color management, from capture to print, is as spot-on as anyone with any kind of setup can hope to achieve. Unequivocally and without qualifications.
Now, first things first: Forget about trying to synchronize color management across the point applications lumped together only by Adobe marketing fiat into a variety of meaningless "creative suites". Concentrate on Photoshop. Do not try to use Bridge to synchronize anything.
The "suites" are a totally artificial construct created by Adobe bean counters and marketing types. The point applications (i.e. the individual programs clumsily bundled together, e.g. Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, etc.) are developed independently by separate engineering teams that are not only not in the same building, but in different cities, different states of the American Union, and even in different countries. They have very little communication among them, if any, as evidenced by repeated posts in these forums by Photoshop engineering staff urging us, the end users, to let the other teams know in their own forums that a given problem exists and is actually affecting our work.
Enough said about the cause of the problem. The end result is that Color Management is at very, very different levels of progress and sophistication in each individual point application, with only Photoshop fully entitled to be considered state of the art.
Secondly, a disclaimer: I have been hanging on to my CRT monitors and take care of them as Jascha Heifetz used to take care of his Stradivarius. I don't know what I will do if I manage to outlive the usefulness and accuracy of my CRTs (unlikely at this point). I have despaired in futile efforts to bring the luminosity of any LCD monitor down to where I would feel comfortable calibrating and profiling it. I believe my monitors are the foundation of my color management efforts.
Especially if you have one of the extreme wide-gamut LCD or LED monitors, you'll face an uphill battle.
Be careful to avoid any version 4 icc profiles, whether canned or generated by your calibration software. Stick to version2 icc profiles. Ask the manufacturer of your calibration software/hardware if in doubt.
Here are some not-too-recent, but thoroughly representative screen shots of the calibration results I obtain with my monitors, which I calibrate and profile often and regularly (I validate the calibration at least several times per month).
In a nutshell, my color management practices and settings mirror those described by Bruce Fraser, Jeff Schewe, Andrew Rodney and Gary Ballard's site. I have learned from all of them.
My working color space is ProPhoto RGB. I choose to work with PSD and PSB files. As a long-time, rabid JPEG hater, I only rarely deal with JPEGs, using them sporadically to illustrate a point in this forum or elsewhere in the web. My main output consists of prints.
I only deal with tagged image files (files with an embedded color profile) and often recommend beating up with a baseball bat any moron that hands you an untagged file—figuratively of course, but I find the expression gets my point across unambiguously.
Following is a screen shot of some of my pertinent settings:
Note that I have never bought into the "suite" concept myself. I do have and routinely use Adobe Illustrator 10.x, InDesign 2.x and Acrobat Professional 8.x, but they are all older, independent versions of each point application, licensed at different times.
Be further advised, that the answer to many problems offered by Adobe engineers often is not to install VersionCue, or uninstall it, or at least disable it.
Also, as outlined at the beginning of this post, concentrate on Photoshop, not on synchronizing applications that can't really communicate with each other, despite the claims of Adobe marketing hacks to the contrary.
One big caveat, do not fall into this trap:

You either want to learn, or you don't. You either want to solve your problems, or you don't.
When you start arguing instead of studying, questioning advice instead of following it and detecting where you went wrong, you're on the right track to nowhere. That attitude will get you there fast. Remember you are the one with the problem, and only you can acquire the discipline to learn how to solve it.
Go ahead and ask me anything that is not clear, just don't argue with me please, and don't tell me why you think Fraser, Rodney, Ballard and I are wrong. You see, I am not experiencing any problem that needs fixing. I have an interest in helping you, but not in hearing about your speculations, theories or conclusions.
Good luck.

CF slows down to a halt ... images not displaying
My primary laptop on which I do all coding ...
- less than 1 year old
- Dell (cough) XPS M1730
- Windows XP (latest)
- ColdFusion Ver 8, developer edition.
- No other issues with laptop
Also running
- SQL 2000
- Synergy
- Anti virus etc. changed Norton daily scan and unaware that I have picked up any viruses - I was my hands very well and often
Over 6 months gradually CF has been slowly not display internal referenced <img src> tags. External work fine.
To the point now where most in our app do not display.
Then in the past 3-4 days a lot of pages when called give Firefox or IE errors:
Page will not display with too may users error.
But there aren't any others.
I go to all other web site, no issues with speed.
I just cold warm booted the machine and now while page 1 appears, page 2, login, takes minutes to appear. But on a beta server (also developer edition) it's instant.
When I go straight into the browser, it works fine, albeit no images, crashes with a known bug (missing application variable), fix it, then resume, then just sits there forever.
And there's no difference between the two machines ... well, not in "that" way.
Adding to my confusion is ... I cannot get into the CF Admin panel.
I can see it approve me, then it just spins.
Nothing has changed on machine in past weeks EXCEPT traveling when I sign in to the usual plethora of wifi and other networks but never had a problem - except luggability
I am thinking of, UGH, reinstalling Windows ... but why bother if it's working perfectly and only ColdFusion has an issue.
Now COLD booted machine for 5 minutes.
Everything seems better except CF still a BIT sluggish and still not "drawing" most images. Able to access Admin panel. Even if there images not displaying.
Anyone any ideas?Thanks for your prompt reply ...
We scoured for a folder like that and found none.
What we DID find is that over the years of coding, we have a template count of 3,500 files in 130 folders, but the root where we start is about 1,500 files. 144 megs total size though.
That shouldn't be too much? Esp as our beta and production servers are using the same amount with no issues.
Admittedly production is CF 7.X.
Much more powerful machines but still.
It would have made sense as that is the only thing on the machine that has "grown" ... but no luck.
Does remind me of the day when our mail server got hacked and we had 100,000 outbound in the spool. That was fun.: :) -
Why are images not displaying at correct resolution in emails?
I've just upgraded to Windows 7 (64bit).
Thunderbird is not displaying images at the correct resolution: images that I insert into the body of an email and images used in my signature.
The images appear larger than they should and pixelated.
It seems that images are not displaying at the correct resolution inside my emails, whereas in other programs on my machine images are displaying correctly.
When I insert and image into an email using insert>image, the resulting "Image Properties" window displays the image's dimensions correctly. This confirms my suspicion that the resolution is not displaying correctly inside emails (a lower resolution than elsewhere on my screen, which would explain why the images appear bigger and pixelated).
I'd appreciate any help in fixing this problem.
Regards,
CatsixHi Zenos,
I've discovered what is causing the problem, but I still need a way to fix it, if possible.
The cause of the problem is that in Windows 7 Control Panel > Display I have set the size of "text and other items" to 150% (otherwise everything is much too small too read on my screen's recommended resolution of 1920×1080).
I discovered that Irfan Viewer was also displaying at the incorrect resolution, but I managed to solve that problem by right-clicking on the IrfanView.exe icon and following Properties > Compatibility and selecting "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings".
I tried the same procedure with Thunderbird, but it made no difference. It is still displaying at the incorrect resolution.
Any suggestions?
Regards,
Catsix
