IE8 & Developer Toolbar

After the upgrade of my Internet Explorer, I tried the IE toolbar and realized the fact that it is not working anymore. IE8 do not support IE Developer Toolbar.

But a happy news is Developer Tool is available in IE8 itself. Simply use Shift+F12

Well, I do not see all the features which IE Developer Toolbar had. Let me explore more…

I see IE8 is really a ‘beta’ and is having lot of bug fixes to include. One major thing is, IE8 rendering engine not correctly rendering many major websites. Nice that there is an “Emulate IE7″ button on the toolbar :) . Let the team fix these and make a powerful Internet Explorer 8! New features are pretty useful.
