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 t
Yes. You need to turn off the security option "Allow websites to open windows without address or status bars".
In IE9 the menu option is at (believe it is same in 8): 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".
You should now have an address bar in your modal dialogs and be able to hit F12 to open IE developer toolbar.
