<p>I cannot get the internet explorer web developer tool bar to work with a pop-up, it won't render at the bottom of the pop-up.  Any suggestions?  </p>

I just tried this on my machine, and it seems to be working. Make sure you're using the
latest version
Otherwise update your question and I'll try to help out again.
update: Make sure the toolbar is docked to your parent window before the popup fires. When I have the toolbar docked (using the little dock icon at the top right of the window) it seems to follow to the new popup.
