    One of the most useful tools I've come across in the last few years is Firebug. I vaguely remember something similar being available for Internet Explorer but I can't remember the name and a Google search hasn't turned up anything much.

    Specifically I'm looking for the ability available in the HTML tab of Firebug where the HTML elements can be navigated through to see exactly what CSS settings are affecting them.

    This screenshot illustrates what I mean (I hope). The styles affecting the highlighted line on the left are shown on the right. Click on the picture to enlarge:

    I am doing some website maintenance at the moment and I'm sure many of you know how just how irritating Internet Explorer can be when it comes to getting page elements to display correctly and consistently with other browsers.

    It looks like I should have continued to search a bit more before I posted :). I found the IE Developer Toolbar. It looks like it is providing the functionality that I need.

    Just in case anyone using Opera doesn't know this: On Opera versions above 9.5, go to Tools->Advanced->Developer Tools and up will pop Opera Dragonfly. This is the Opera version of Firebug.
