Internet Explorer F12 Developer Tools Overview

on January 27, 2014

The following is a great post with a great overview to the Developer Tools found in Internet Explorer 12.

“As web developers we need tools that enable us to  inspect and debug HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, as well as monitor page load performance, and UI responsiveness. The IE F12 tools were rebuilt from the ground up, providing features to accomplish all these tasks and more, taking into account tons of feedback from developers. Below are some of these new features seen in version 11 and here is a complete list of what’s new in F12 Tools.

  • Clean, modern, user interface.
  • New UI Responsiveness, Memory, and Emulation tools.
  • DOM Explorer, Console, and familiar tools are updated to enable an easier and faster workflow

In previous versions of the dev tools, there was a menu. Some items have moved to various parts of the IE F12 developer tools. For example, the Browser Mode options that were once part of the menu are now the Emulation tab. Let’s take a quick look at each tool in the toolset and what it can do for you.”

Using the new F12 Developer tools in IE11

on September 20, 2013

With the introduction of Internet Explorer 11, Microsoft completely overhauled the F12 Developer Tools.

We rebuilt the F12 tools from the ground up in IE11. They have a brand new UI and new functionality to make your developing and debugging faster and easier.

With the new F12 Developer tools, you can debug, test, profile, update the CSS layout, find a memory leak, emulate and checkout UI responsiveness, plus a lot more.

There is a great article on the Internet Explorer Dev Center for Using the F12 developer tools. I recommend you take a look at the article as it goes in depth for how to use the new tool.

UIResponsivenessTool

Internet Explorer 11 comes with Windows 8.1 and will be made available for Windows 7 at around the same time that Windows 8.1 is released or shortly there after I would imagine. There is a IE11 RC available for Windows 7 now.

These updated developer tools are a welcome breath of fresh air and should provide to be very useful for every developers needs.

Enjoy!

Microsoft Introduces modern.IE Tools & Resources to Help Developers Make Modern Web Sites

on February 4, 2013

On Friday February 1, Microsoft launched modern.IE, which is a set of new tools and resources to help developers test their websites for the over 50% of internet users who run various versions of Internet Explorer. These tools also work with other modern browsers.

“modern.IE includes a wizard that scans a Web page URL for common interoperability problems and suggests some ideas for how to address those issues to improve the user experience across modern and older browsers.”

“In a post to the Exploring IE blog, Microsoft general manager Ryan Gavin explained that modern.IE comes in the wake of many changes that have thoroughly modernized the company’s web browser. These changes include adopting automatic updates, the introduction of IE platform preview releases to get early developer feedback, and embracing modern web standards, “coupled with cutting edge performance and advanced touch capabilities.”

But modern.IE is designed to help developers overcome what is arguably the web’s biggest issue as a platform today: the proliferation of older versions of IE and other browsers makes it hard to develop modern web sites that work well across browsers. To that end, modern.IE provides three tools today, and Microsoft promises more are on the way. These include:

Code detection wizard. modern.IE has a wizard that scans for common coding practices that might prevent users from having their best experience on a site. Developers start by entering a webpage URL that they want to test and then the wizard reports on problems and provides recommendations.

Free Virtual Testing Service with BrowserStack. modern.IE includes special access to BrowserStack, a leading virtual browser testing site that lets developers test their site on any browser available on Windows, regardless of what OS their test machine is running. Best of all, developers who visit the site via modern.IE will receive three months of free service over the next year.

Best practices and sample code for cross-browser coding. modern.IE compiles the top 20 tech tips that address most of the compatibility issues developers have coding for the web and IE today.”

This looks really cool. Although it’s still in BETA, it’s given me plenty of information for my websites and what I can do to make them better experiences to my users.

modern.IE is available now. Go ahead and try it out for your self.
