Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar

I've recently started using the IE Developer Toolbar after discovering it thanks to Shane Perran's SharePoint Blog It is a very useful addon for Internet Explorer especially as in work I can't have Firefox, and as I'm working with a SharePoint site on the server that isn't FF compatible. The toolbar downloadable here is a useful tool for exploring the HTML or CSS on a webpage.

Overview

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.

I am at the moment using it to edit the CSS files for a SharePoint theme, and it is making my job a whole lot easier!
