    I've gotten a little Metro web app running and I'm trying to style it, but since I'm using the WinJS.UI.ListView controls an stuff, I want to be able to see the HTML that is generated at run time. Normally I'd fire up Firebug or something like that, but in a Metro app I obviously can't do that. So is there anyway to view the source of a running Metro app?

    In Visual Studio you can use the DOM Explorer which will show the running DOM and shows the style tracing view. From VS you can go to the Debug -> Windows -> DOM Explorer to bring the window to the foreground. The window should also be in the document well (labeled "DOM Explorer") in VS by default when you launch a Metro style JavaScript app.
