Body BackgroundImage not displayed in browser

I have been trying to set up reports with a background image. The background displays correctly on the preview tab in Visual Studio, but is not visible when deployed to the report server and rendered in Internet Explorer.

However, if the report is printed, or exported to PDF or Excel, the background displays correctly.

It does not seem to make any difference if the image is external or embedded. Also, the problem only seems to affect the Body properties; a background image attached to a table, for example, seems to display correctly.

Has anybody else seen this behavior? I have not done extensive testing, but every report that I have tried seems to have the same problem. Is there a setting someplace that I am missing, or is this perhaps a bug in IE?

This sounds like a known issue in RS 2005 SP1 where the background images does not show up when rendering with the ReportViewer control. This was addressed in a Hotfix and will also be fixed in Visual Studio 2005 SP1.

I am running RS 2005 with SP2. When I render a RS report to Internet Explorer the background image still is not displaying, though the image does print. Exactly as described in the origional message. Any ideas?

Thanks!
