Fiddler2

Fiddler2 is a web debugging proxy add-on whichs logs HTTP(S) traffic data. It’s very robust in features and is customizable to your needs. Some of its features include:

WebCollect Toolbar

WebCollect Toolbar allows you to capture various pieces of a Web page--from a custom section up to the complete page (even the off-screen parts). Copy the full screen; select and copy a rectangular section of a Web page; select and copy an irregular section of a Web page; copy the entire Web page, magnify the Web page; or select a color with the eyedropper.

Microsoft Script Debugger (MSD) by Microsoft

When you start testing IE, this tool is a must have. You can do a lot with script debugger, including JavaScript breakpoints and variable watching. msd usage information; http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/sdbug/html/sdbug_1.asp

Fiddler

Fiddler allows developers to see most network traffic in and out of your computer by using a proxy. This is useful for monitoring http and AJAX request in IE. You can also use this with other browsers (see the documentation).

Multiple IE (mie) by Manfred Staudinger

You still need to support IE 6 for a few years and this tool allows you to run an IE 6 instance without launching a virtual PC. You can also see how your pages behave in IE 3, 4.01, 5.01, 5.5, and 6, without interfering with the latest version of IE. The only problem I have ever encountered is an occasional memory leak having to do with older IE versions and displaying elements with the opacity style.

IE Developer Toolbar

Although, it has a long way to go to replace the Web Developer Toolbar of FireFox, this is must-have tool for IE 6+. You can outline and navigate through the DOM, measure page elements, see and change applied styles, and more.

DebugBar for IE8

This is the latest tool in your arsenal, combining IE Developer Toolbar and Microsoft Script Debugger to have a tool that attempts to rival FireBug. It does not, but at least it&rsquot;s a step in the right direction.

HttpWatch Version 8.5

HttpWatch is an integrated HTTP sniffer for IE and Firefox that provides new insights into how your website loads and performs.
