Firebug alternative for the IE

Is there a good alternative to Firebug that I could use with IE 7 and 8?

I'm interested in modifying CSS/HTML on the go, as well as debugging some of the java script and viewing the positions of certain elements on the page.

THank you

In reality, there's no good alternative of firebug, neither in ie nor in chrome. All forums on following topic are just there to waste the time. The best option in chrome and ie is to press F12.

The best JavaScript debugger for IE is probably Visual Studio. Developer Tools would probably cover your needs, but if you feel you need more power then check out Visual Studio. There's a free version, haven't tried the 2010 version though.

Developer Tools is mentioned by many here, and is probably what you're looking for. But if you also need to analyze performance, something similar to yslow, then Dynatrace is worth a look.

There is something called firebuglite which is a subset of firebug. It works in IE6+ browsers. Checkout the following link for more info:

IE8 (also IE7) comes with Developer Tools. You can use it for debugging and a lot of things.

Press F12 (or Tools/Developer Tools on menu) in IE to open the Developer Tools - this has some of the functionality of Firebug, including editing CSS on the go and debugging Javascript

I don't think you get something like firebug for the IE but you can debug your page by checking the Disable Script Debugger from the IE Tools options.
