What is the best way to emulate a firebug workflow for css in IE6?

So, I have a lot of CSS development, and I'm working with Firefox / Firebug A LOT. I usually know how to debug IE6 / IE7 (as much as possible), and if I have the source, I can just simply edit the actual files and run the local server on a Linux machine and test it in IE, going back and forth until it will be fixed.

Lately, it seems to me that I'm being asked to debug problems in IE6 when I don't have a source. Do I need to emulate firebug as a thread in IE6?

Firebug Lite does not allow changing css and IETester values. This does not have to be a built-in tool (maybe there is some utility for quickly loading 1 from web pages and their dependencies), but I'm definitely looking for the most effective solution to fix errors in IE when I don't have a source available to me.

Try the IE Dev Toolbar .

It's not as convenient or convenient as Firebug, but it can change CSS and HTML attributes.

Firebug Lite is the best way to debug html in IE.

Firebug is an extension for Firefox, but what happens when you need to check your pages in Internet Explorer, Opera and Safari?

The solution is Firebug Lite, a JavaScript file that you can insert into your pages to simulate some Firebug functions in browsers that are not named "Firefox".

Firebug Lite creates the "firebug" variable and does not affect the interruption of HTML elements that are not created by themselves.

Since you already know about this, and it does not fit what you need, see DebugBar . There is also an MS solution using the Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar .

Why, the IE Developer Toolbar , of course!

It allows you to manipulate HTML and CSS values.

3 solutions that I always use

  • Use IE 8 with the developer toolbar in IE 7 emulation mode to solve IE 7 problems and to use IE 8 in normal mode
  • for IE 6 this is best for me, I use it a lot http://www.paciellogroup.com/blog/?p=7
  • and this, to judge the correct selectors, is very good http://www.westciv.com/mri/ (I use this for all browsers because it can distinguish a selector for an element)

Firebug lite and IE toolbar for IE7 not very useful
