In Internet Explorer 10, are developer tools not available from [F12]? If so, how do I access them?
With metro IE 10 for windows 8, I assumed that I could use F12 to open developer tools, just like it was possible in every IE since 8.
However, in windows 8 that doesn't seem to do anything - has it been removed or is it accessible in another way?
No, it has not been removed. The Developer Tools only show up in the Desktop version, not the Metro version.
You can always still use Firebug Lite.
