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 dialogArguments and the return value of showModalDialog
- I can't use other browsers, FF+Firebug, etc.
F12 works to bring up the developer tools if you turn the address bar on.
