I cannot get the internet explorer web developer tool bar to work with a pop-up, it won't render at the bottom of the pop-up. Any suggestions?

To turn Pop-up Blocker on or offOpen Internet Explorer, select the Tools button , and then select Internet options. On the Privacy tab, under Pop-up Blocker, select or clear the Turn on Pop-up Blocker check box, and then select OK.
To access IE Developer Tools, you launch Internet Explorer and press F12 on your keyboard or select “F12 Developer Tools” on the “Tools” menu. This opens the developer tools inside the browser tab.
Internet Explorer Developer Tools, also known as the F12 Developer Tools in Windows 10, and formerly known as Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar, is a web development tool built into Microsoft Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge that aids in design and debugging of web pages.
There's a very specific way to do this:
unpin the developer tools window (CTRL+P) from the popup windowYou should now also be able to control whether the developer tools open for the popup window or not by toggling the developer tools in the main window. That;s how it works for me, anyway! This is all on IE9 on Windows 7 by the way...
The only problem with all of this is if you need to debug something that only happens the first time you launch the popup window...
Which is exactly the problem I have - I've got a SCORM-compliant e-learning course that launches in a popup window and which has a bug that only happens on first launching the course in IE!! Oh well...

I am pretty sure it won't work with modal popup windows. If you are opening popups as modal you may have to change the code to mode-less just for debugging purposes.
