IE 9 Developer Tools – Inspecting elements might need an F5 key press rahulsingla.com

This has happened to me enough times now that I would think of publishing the issue and its resolution in a blog post. And the issue relates to inspecting elements on a web-page using Internat Explorer 9’s Developer Tools.

Every now and then when I need to debug a Html or Css issue with IE, and open up its Developer Tools console, nothing happens when I click the “Select element by click” button on the Developr Tools toolbar and hover over the page. The element on the page under the mouse does not get highlighted as you would normally expect, and neither does it gets selected when you click it (Chrome Developer Tools are ages ahead than its IE’s counterpart in terms of functionality and developer productivity).
