Re: [css-d] IE8 developer tools and toggling was (IE8 is better but still slightly broken)
Ingo Chao wrote: Its cool to have the option to see a page live in one of the three compatibility modes you choose (Quirks, Strict IE7, and Standards IE8) when the developer tools are opened. Ingo So if I download the developer tools the below issue is re-solved? Anyway once you install this IE8 beta, IE7 suddenly disappears from the system. I'm just glad they have this little new [7] button to toggle to IE7 mode but you have have to close IE8 first for it to work. How can I use the button if the IE8 has to close. Shaking my head in disbelief. LOL. Am I understanding this wrong. and you don't have to restart Internet Explorer. When I click the IE7 toggle button I get this message. You must close all Internet Explorer windows and restart Internet Explorer to complete the IE7 Emulation mode switch When you select OK, you must close Internet Explorer and reload it and then IE8 is in IE7 mode and the IE7 toggle button now has a white background. If you click the toggle button again the same message appears and then you must close Internet Explorer and reload it again to be back in IE8 mode. I did see a link for these developer tools on the IE blog, I must find the link again.

So if I download the developer tools the below issue is re-solved? The developer tool is already included. Its the last button to the right, an blue arrow. It opens a window behind the actual IE8 window, so you have to make room to see it. Then click on view|change compatibility mode.

From: Alan Gresley [EMAIL PROTECTED] So if I download the developer tools the below issue is re-solved? I hope people are using IE8 for its intended purpose of Technical Beta. Microsoft's own home page does not work very well and major sites (like Adobe.com and Yahoo are rendered in degrees of chaos).

Ingo No just the IE8beta and yes customizing the toolbar allows you to add the developer tools blue arrow. This is such a great tool allowing you to analyze each line of HTML, CSS and Script. Wow! Thank you Ingo for helping me with this.

I have already filed a bug with the IE8 newsgroup. Once submitting the bug it says that the bug filed should show up in five minutes but it has been eight hours and the list is still the same. And I do intend on using IE8beta to help the IE team improve their browser (I have been doing this on the quiet since December last year). I guess some of us are still trying to understand the present bugs in IE8 to prepare better and more exact test cases to present to the IE team.
