Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar

Via Pedro Serrano:


The IE Developer toolbar which was discussed at the PDC ’05 is now available for download. It supports both IE 6 and 7.


Features include :



  • 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 800×600 or a custom size.
  • Selectively clear the browser cache and saved cookies. Choose from all objects or those associated with a given domain.
  • Choose direct links to W3C specification references, the Internet Explorer team weblog (blog), and other resources.
  • Display a fully featured design ruler to help accurately align objects on your pages.

This may come in handy when trying to determine which CSS-class to modify when customizing the look-and-feel of a SharePoint-site or site definition template set. And ofcource for any kind of HTML editing/analyzing purposes.
