Did you check the compatibility mode settings? Not sure if its related to the problem but worth checking. - Nilesh
thank you. i changed the document mode to IE7 standards. Now it is working. But how to make it work in IE10 standards? - Spider man
I havent used CR for a while, so that's really tough to tell; but you can try specifying <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9"/> meta tag on your page which will run the report in compatibility mode. - Nilesh

This fixed it for me. What it neglects to mention is the crystalReportViewer folder has to be copied from Program Files(x86) to the proper subfolder under aspnet_client. You may already have a block in web.config. You only need one. The second bit of code goes below that section. 

Copy the folders under "\inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet_client\" and paste them under the  root of the custom web site

 Add the following to the application web.config file:

<configSections>

    <sectionGroup name="businessObjects">
      <sectionGroup name="crystalReports">
        <section name="crystalReportViewer" type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler"/>
      </sectionGroup>
    </sectionGroup>
  </configSections>

  <businessObjects>
    <crystalReports>
      <crystalReportViewer>
        <add key="UseBrowserLocale" value="true"/>
        <add key="resourceURI" value="~/aspnet_client/system_web/4_0_30319/crystalreportviewers13" />
      </crystalReportViewer>
    </crystalReports>
  </businessObjects>

Be sure that the name for the folder crystalreportviewers in web.config matches the name in aspnet_client.

Thank you nilesh. That solved the issue. In the crystal report viewer we have to add the following code:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9,chrome=1" />

The following is an example.

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="ReportViewer.aspx.cs" Inherits="Project1.Web.ReportViewer.ReportViewer" %>

<%@ Register Assembly="CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=13.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304"
Namespace="CrystalDecisions.Web" TagPrefix="CR" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9"/>
