Using Firebug in Internet Explorer
This tip comes from Ben Kelly. We all need to test on Internet Explorer, but we've been spoiled with tools like Firebug in other browsers. Ben has a tip to get Firebug to work in Internet Explorer:
In IE, go to your Favorites bar and copy-paste the following chunk of code and call it "Firebug". (Jonathan: In IE 7, I created a bookmark, then right-clicked on the properties, and then pasted the following code into the URL field.)
Then on any website, open that bookmark and it will give you a Firebug console.
Apparently, it seems to work pretty well for CSS and DOM stuff, but has some limitations when it comes to script debugging.
Enjoy.
