Using Firefox with SAS Web Report Studio

Modal dialog boxes

If you use Firefox 2.0 or later as your browser, then you should configure Firefox as described here. Otherwise, you will have problems seeing dialog boxes in SAS Web Report Studio. You might see dialog boxes, but they will not be modal. This means that the main window will keep the focus and the dialog box will be behind the main window. You will be unable to make any selections in the dialog box.

To set your Firefox browser options to enable modal dialog boxes, follow these steps:

In Firefox, select ToolsOptions to open the Options window. Select the Content tab if it is not selected by default.
In the Content tab, make sure that the Block pop-up windows check box is not selected. If this option is selected, then you will not be able to open any dialog boxes in SAS Web Report Studio, and you will probably see the following error message:

Error Message for Pop-Up Windows
In the Content tab, make sure that the Enable JavaScript check box is selected. Click Advanced to open the Advanced JavaScript Settings dialog box.
In the Advanced JavaScript Settings dialog box, make sure that the following check boxes are selected:
- Move or resize existing windows
- Raise or lower windows
- Disable or replace context menus
These options are required for modal dialog boxes and context menus to work properly in SAS Web Report Studio.

Click OK to close the dialog box. Then close the Options window.

Access keys

If you want to use a SAS Web Report Studio access key in the Firefox browser, then you need to use SHIFT+ALT+access key.
