Why doesn't the IE11 Developer Tools work?
I can press f12 or right click and select inspect element but when the toolbar opens it is just a blank white screen. I am able to view source on the broken f12 tools and this is what i see:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=11" />
<title>F12 Tools</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="header.css" data-plugin-theme="true"/>
<!-- Daytona Includes -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="../common/plugin.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../Common/CommonMinimal.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="HeaderMerged.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
// The main entry point
F12.Host.Header.App.main();
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="f12Logo"></div>
<nav id="tabContainer">
<div id="prevTabButton" class="tabNavButton tabNavButtonDisabled"></div>
<div id="tabListContainer">
<ul id="tabList">
</ul>
</div>
<div id="nextTabButton" class="tabNavButton tabNavButtonDisabled"></div>
</nav>
</body>
</html>
In the head of this script i see it calling on a few javascript files and i cannot locate any matching files on my system.
I have win7 Home. Any help please. Am i even in the right ballpark to assume i don't have the necessary filesystem?
If it helps in my several attempts to fix the problem i have gotten a light blue color background with what looks like an inset box shadow around it. this goes away after a few seconds and back to the white blank screen.
Also I heard that there may be some registry fix so I'm going to dig in there. I didn't really find anything in there.
Answer
I had the latest IE update installed and it didn't work for me, had to install Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 11 for Windows 7 (KB3008923)
