Where did the Activity window go in Safari?

Updated to Mountain Lion and now the activity window in Safari has disappeared. I use that a lot so am really hoping it still is accessible. When I search activity window in Safari help, I get this:

You can monitor and examine each element of a webpage loaded by Safari. This is useful if you want to view the structure of a webpage.

  1. Open the website using Safari, and then choose Develop > Show Web Inspector.If the Develop menu isn’t in the menu bar, open Safari preferences, click Advanced, and then select “Show Develop menu in menu bar.”
  2. To view webpage resources in the Web Inspector’s sidebar, choose Develop > Show Page Resources.


But there is no menu labeled "Develop" and nothing called "Web Inspector". So what's up with this?????

If you still have Lion you can download the Safari 5.0.5 app here: http://siys.blogspot.com/2012/08/safari-505_16.html


No installation required. Follow the instructions.


This does not work for Mountain Lion.


If you have Mountain Lion and truly wish to be able to still use Safari 5 you would need to create a small partition and install Lion. You'd then need to log out of Mountain Lion and login to Lion each time you wish to use Safari 5, which is not all that practical, but it will work.
