Using IE dev toolbar on a pop up windowed web app.

Question

We are working on IE only web application that is run as a pop up window - without any toolbars. Is there a way to invoke IE developer's toolbar besides using a button on the IE toolbar, since it is not visible?

Thanks!

Answer 1

I had the same problem, I was forced to modify my code, so that I have a server variable read from a config file if we show the toolbar or not. This way when we are in dev or qa we show the toolbar, but in production we hide it.

If someone knows of a better way hopefully they will chime in.

Edit

Ohh and this doesn't work at all for a modal dialog window.showModalDialog (or if ie supports it window.open(page,"modal=yes") ) and ctrl-n doesn't work either.

Answer 2

Press CTRL-n while the window is active. It will open the same URL in a non pop-up window, complete with tool bar.

Answer 3

If you can use the IE8 beta/RC, try hitting F12 on the popup.
