Firebug equivalent for Internet Explorer

Question

I am looking for a tool/add-on like Firebug on Firefox ( that is immensely useful for debugging web applications) which works for Internet Explorer. Any suggestions ?

Answer 1

Also wanted to mention, for network analysis, similar to Firebug's Net tab, I don't think IE dev tools offers as good an alternative. You can then use Fiddler/Fiddler 2 and it's related plugins.

And another option for that that I like is ieHttpHeaders. It won't give you HTTP response body/data but it gives you the HTTP request headers + HTTP POST parameters (excluding file uploads, binary data, and multi-part form POSTs), and HTTP response headers. Good tool to have as companion to your other IE tools.

Answer 2

Go to Settings and select F12 Developer Tools in IE. I use IE10 and it works.

You can also press F12.

The usage is similar to Firebug. I like this interface more, it shows the color of all color-hex values for easy reference.

Answer 3

Microsoft provides the IE Developer Toolbar which provides similar functionality to Firebug.

You can also use Firebug Lite in IE6+.

Answer 4

Check this Firebug Lite For IE. Also there is DebugBar, IE developer toolbar are few other names.
