    Re: Firebug alternative Internet Explorer

    There is a same tool provided Microsoft for Internet Explorer called Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar if you don't want to use it also you can use the same for it...

    Brief Description :
    The Microsoft Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar provides a variety of tools for quickly creating, understanding, and troubleshooting Web pages.

    Features :

    The Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar provides several features for exploring and understanding Web pages. These features enable you to:


    • Explore and modify the document object model (DOM) of a Web page.
    • Locate and select specific elements on a Web page through a variety of techniques.
    • Selectively disable Internet Explorer settings.
    • View HTML object class names, ID's, and details such as link paths, tab index values, and access keys.
    • Outline tables, table cells, images, or selected tags.
    • Validate HTML, CSS, WAI, and RSS web feed links.
    • Display image dimensions, file sizes, path information, and alternate (ALT) text.
    • Immediately resize the browser window to a new resolution.
    • Selectively clear the browser cache and saved cookies. Choose from all objects or those associated with a given domain.
    • Display a fully featured design ruler to help accurately align and measure objects on your pages.
    • Find the style rules used to set specific style values on an element.
    • View the formatted and syntax colored source of HTML and CSS.

    The Developer Toolbar can be pinned to the Internet Explorer browser window or floated separately.

    Features :
    • Just the way you like it :
      Firebug is always just a keystroke away, but it never gets in your way. You can open Firebug in a separate window, or as a bar at the bottom of your browser. Firebug also gives you fine-grained control over which websites you want to enable it for.

    • Inspect and edit HTML :
      Firebug makes it simple to find HTML elements buried deep in the page. Once you've found what you're looking for, Firebug gives you a wealth of information, and lets you edit the HTML live.

    • Tweak CSS to perfection :
      Firebug's CSS tabs tell you everything you need to know about the styles in your web pages, and if you don't like what it's telling you, you can make changes and see them take effect instantly.

    • Visualize CSS metrics :
      When your CSS boxes aren't lining up correctly it can be difficult to understand why. Let Firebug be your eyes and it will measure and illustrate all the offsets, margins, borders, padding, and sizes for you.

    • Monitor network activity :
      Your pages are taking a long time to load, but why? Did you go crazy and write too much JavaScript? Did you forget to compress your images? Are your ad partner's servers taking a siesta? Firebug breaks it all down for you file-by-file.

    • Debug and profile JavaScript :
      Firebug includes a powerful JavaScript debugger that lets you pause execution at any time and have look at the state of the world. If your code is a little sluggish, use the JavaScript profiler to measure performance and find bottlenecks fast.

    • Quickly find errors :
      When things go wrong, Firebug lets you know immediately and gives you detailed and useful information about errors in JavaScript, CSS, and XML.

    • Explore the DOM :
      The Document Object Model is a great big hierarchy of objects and functions just waiting to be tickled by JavaScript. Firebug helps you find DOM objects quickly and then edit them on the fly.

    • Execute JavaScript on the fly :
      The command line is one of the oldest tools in the programming toolbox. Firebug gives you a good ol' fashioned command line for JavaScript complete with very modern amenities.

    • Logging for JavaScript :
      Having a fancy JavaScript debugger is great, but sometimes the fastest way to find bugs is just to dump as much information to the console as you can. Firebug gives you a set of powerful logging functions that help you get answers fast.
