Introduced way back in 2005, the Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar is not in beta anymore. A final version for Windows XP, 2003 and Vista is available!
For those of you who don't know what this plug-in is, it's a handy tool that let's you explore everything on a webpage: see table borders, change size of the browser window, explore the DOM...
In short, it has become an unmissable tool for developing ASP.net webapplications.
The most important features are the following:
- 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
