Web Development Must Have Tools

Someone recently led me on to these amazing tools: IE Developer Toolbar for IE, and FireBug for FireFox.

 

These are tools that allow you to look at the HTML, CSS, script, DOM, etc, of the page you’re viewing. They show the current view, which means any dynamic code created by JavaScript will show up. Another great feature is you can edit all aspects of the running page. This means if you’re trying to figure out some CSS/HTML/Script errors, that you can load the page and change them without having to recompile and run the project.

 

FireBug seems to be a lot more advanced and has more options than the IE counterpart. These tools immediately jumped to the top of my list of web development tools that I can’t live without.
