Does anyone know of a Firebug equivilant for Internet Explorer?

The question says it all. Inter Explorer's lack of standard compliance has struck, and driven me to the brink of madness. Does anyone know of a Firebug equivalent for IE8?

You may be surprised, but Visual Studio is a great tool for debugging Javascript (or JScript, as MS calls it). Just attach an IE process, view the running scripts and set breakpoints wherever you like. As for DOM inspection, it can't help you there. But it's how I debug in IE.

Firebug Lite

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.
