How do you guys "debug" our (IE) problems?

Posted 15 years 10 months ago
- I wonder how you people helping us are able do so? I mean, there's Firebug. It can do some amazing things, but how do you tackle IE specific problems, if it's ok in FF?
  
  What tools and techniques. Can I learn something?

- Not as feature rich as FireBug but better than nothing...

  You can't make live changes (unless I am missing something) like you can with FireBug.

- If someone hasn't done that already, I highly doubt my patience will allow me to come across that.

- There is also the IE developer toolbar, that will allow live changes:

- The Developer Toolbar is not compatible with Internet Explorer 8. Please use the developer tools included with Internet Explorer 8. Press F12 or click the 'Developer Tools' entry in the Tools menu to begin using the tool.

  I would consider:
  
  Firebug is an extension for Firefox, but what happens when you need to test your pages in Internet Explorer, Opera, and Safari?
  The solution is Firebug Lite, a JavaScript file you can insert into your pages to simulate some Firebug features in browsers that are not named "Firefox".
  Firebug Lite creates the variable "firebug" and doesn't affect or interfere with HTML elements that aren't created by itself.
  
  getfirebug.com/lite.html
  
  ....not a bad idea ...
