[Release] IE Developer Toolbar Addon v1.00.2188-070924

[Mrs Peel]

YIKES! I never thought I would see the day that I should make an addon for ANY MS app, let alone my most hated IE. But since my web dev work demands that I keep a copy of IE on hand for testing purposes and I can't live without Firebug plugin for Firefox, this IE DOM inspector plugin is at least better than nothing.

Only tested on Win2k3 with IE6, so can I please have some volunteers to help me test this on other platforms/versions. Cheers!!!

Hmm, sounds like an interesting program, thanks. I tested it in IE7 and although the button appears on the toolbar, clicking on it has no effect. Then I rebooted ..and it works fine. Cheers, luv.

Yeh, it's strange that the MS developers never put any effort into publicising the existence of this indispensable IE addon and I only heard about it from rumours that started spreading last year on various web developer blogs I frequent.

Hehehe, maybe they do not really WANT to encourage peeps using tools like this cos it only highlights even further for the end user how absolutely sucky IE is with its standard CSS support

Anyhoo thanks for the field tests and feedback hunny child. Muchly appreciated
