Debug a modal dialog (showModalDialog) in IE

Question

I want to debug (examine DOM, use the interactive JS console, etc) part of a web application that is inside a modal dialog that was created by showModalDialog().

Answer 1

F12 works to bring up the developer tools if you turn the address bar on.

Go Tools / Internet options / Security / (pick the right zone for your site) / Custom Level Under "Miscellaneous" Under "Allow websites to open windows without address or status bars", choose "Disable".
