I can't get the Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar to load on Windows 7, assuming IE 8. Therefore I am forced to use Firefox and it's toolbar. Has anyone got the Microsoft toolbar to work on Windows 7?

You don't need the developer toolbar with IE8. Go to the Tools dropdown and you'll find a MUCH better set of tools under 'Developer Tools'.

Unless i've misunderstood @djangofan's question, the IE8 developer toolbar is shipped with IE8... and is the one you find on the Tools menu (e.g. F12)

I was under the impression that he was talking about the old IE7 Developer Toolbar being installed on Windows 7/IE 8.

yep, i was talking about the old toolbar. i had NO IDEA that IE8 had a new toolbar. what a surprise!

It works just fine, I just hit F12 and it shows up normally.

Unfortunately the old toolbar is actually allowed to install on Windows 7 even though it doesn't work, so that threw me for a loop.
