Within the last day, in Internet Explorer 8, the developer tools window will not show up.

When I hit F12 or use menu Tools -> Developer Tools I get the Developer Tools entry in the Task Bar but the actual window will not show up.

It has been running fine for a month or so. I have tried rebooting with no luck.

JQuery UI sortable is slow in IE8, but works good in IE7 and IE8 compatible mode

JQuery UI sortable (including demos) are slow in all IE8 I can test, but runs smoothly in IE7 and IE8 compatible mode. The more complex is a markup on the page, the more IE8 is slowing down (that's I can understand, the DOM tree became more complex). I'm using JQuery 1.3.2 and JQuery UI 1.7.2 (tested… >>> More
