IE Dev Tools

martyoo

Hi guys,

I am new to CSS and having some cross browser issues with IE. Just wondering what tools ye guys use to detect where the issues might be?

Chrome / Firefox have loads of Dev tools, even "inspect element" is great but nothing like that for IE or is there?

Edit: Found IE Tester with Debug bar which does the job.

IE Tester is great to check on various IE versions at the same time. [very buddy program though]
Technically if your code is W3C compliant, then it should run on all browsers properly. You can validate it here: http://validator.w3.org/

Usually its the IE box model thats causing some problem or infact a coding error [missing a closing tag somewhere, firefox usually overlooks something this small]

You can try google your problem, more than likely you will find your solution here: http://stackoverflow.com/

IE8+ has a developer toolbar built in. Just press F12 to bring it up.

Compared to Firebug it's a pile of crap.

Thanks for the replies.

Looks to be down to divs which weren't closed properly.
