If you have IE8, you may have noticed a really handy feature that MS has added. Hit F12 and Developer Tools, a firebug like debugger, pops up. This is extremely useful for debugging purposes, and i'm wondering if there is a way to pop up the Developer Tools from a WebBrowser control inside a .NET application. My situation is this: I have a C# application that has an embedded WebBrowser control. The C# app and the DHTML web browser contents communicate with each other using the ObjectForScripting (C# side) and window.external (DHTML side) interfaces, so in order to test/debug/troubleshoot the

So we have reached that stage in a web dev project where we need to see how things look in IE. Sigh. So the fabulous Firebug is not available for IE. But a lite version is - as a bookmarklet, and is apparently compatible with IE6+. But how the how the hell do I add a bookmarklet to IE8? I am unable to drag and drop to the Favourites bar (is this the same as bookmarks?). I can't add it through the Favourites add option as it contains "illegal" characters. So how do I do this? All I want to do is inspect the DOM. Thanks Colin Pickard this is how I did it (IE 8.0.7600.16385 on Win7): Go to some

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() . I can't find a way to use the standard IE-8 developer tools for this; The dialog doesn't have a toolbar and the usual shortcut (F12) doesn't work. Another SO question (I unfortunately have lost the link to) suggested that the only solution is to (perhaps temporarily) replace showModalDialog() with an old-fashioned window.open() . If this is the case, is there a straightfoward way to do it? Caveats: The app cares about passing

I'm using the F12 developer tools built into Internet Explorer 9 to capture network traffic on a site. This information can be saved to an XML (default) or CSV file. The XML file seems to contain much more information, but I'm having a hard time finding any applications that will read these. Using Internet Explorer Developer Tools Network Capture states: The Save button writes the current HTTP session to an XML file by using the HTTP Archive schema or a .CSV file. After saving the session, you can open the session by using any tool that can read HTTP archive files, or .CSV files. Internet

I'm used to debugging JavaScript in Chrome or Firefox just because their built in developer tools are a lot cleaner than IE's. IE8 came along way with the Developer Tools being more polished, but they're still not completely up to snuff. I like being able to step through code as if I was in Visual Studio, and that is pretty nice about IE, however, when trying to do a simple console.log on an object that I have, in Firefox/Chrome/etc. I can actually explore that object. In IE, the console is simply outputting the following: LOG: [object Object] Is there any way to drill down into that object in

Is there an equivalent to console.time(''); console.timeEnd(''); in IE8 Developer Tools? warpech There isn't, but you can define it easily with JavaScript: // console.time implementation for IE if(window.console && typeof(window.console.time) == "undefined") { console.time = function(name, reset){ if(!name) { return; } var time = new Date().getTime(); if(!console.timeCounters) { console.timeCounters = {}; } var key = "KEY" + name.toString(); if(!reset && console.timeCounters[key]) { return; } console.timeCounters[key] = time; }; console.timeEnd = function(name){ var time = new Date().getTime()

Im using Google Maps Javascript API V3, and recently the icons on my map aren't showing up in IE9. To get to the bottom of it, I turned on IE's developer tools. When I refreshed the map, the icons appeared! However, when I close out of IE and start anew, the icons aren't there . Yet again, if I turn on the developer tools and refresh, the icons appear. My question is the title of this topic, what is enabled when accessing IE's developer tools, which is allowing my icons on my Google map to appear?? If you have any console prints in your code, these would throw exceptions (hence breaking the

I've been having a lot of trouble with bad performance on IE (all versions including IE11) in a HTML/SVG javascript-powered widget, only when the widget is hosted on a certain page. After identifying that the main cause of the slowdown was paint / render layer redraws, and exhausting the information about these I could get out of IE Developer Tools , I resorted to trial and error turning off ancestor classes one at a time until the performance improved; then, on identifying the class, turning off style rules one at a time. My entire problem seems to come down to a single overflow: hidden; rule
