You want something like firebug but not firebug ? why, if i may ask ? — Gabriele Petrioli, Jul 26 '10 at 10:50
Opera browser has built-in Opera Dragonfly, which is Firebug for Opera. Try Firebug lite for IE or Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar from Microsotf — Ventus, Jul 26 '10 at 10:52
And Developers toolbar for IE8 laborious. For Every element to test, every time one has to select the menu option,...... — user160820, Jul 26 '10 at 10:54
What's wrong with the developer toolbar? It's installed with IE8 and has been improved for IE9 developer preview. — OregonGhost, Jul 26 '10 at 10:54

Unfortunately, some of us are still stuck coding to IE because that's the corporate standard. *sigh* — RQDQ, Jan 20 '11 at 21:18

I've used MS's IE Developer Toolbar before and have found it useful.

That's like comparing a land rover to a skateboard. A skateboard is great if it's all you've got but it's not gonna go the distance if you're trying to get from Paris to Dakar in a hurry... – annakata Jul 26 '10 at 11:08
Actually, it is a very useful tool. Its not quite as featureful as firebug but its nothing to be scoffed at either. – Jake Jul 26 '10 at 13:05

IE8 has a quite good Firebug lookalike called Developer Tools, built-in (press F12 to activate it).

There's DebugBar, but be warned... it's as crap as IE is.

Firebug lite gets my vote.
