Microsoft has released its developer toolbar for Internet Explorer 6,
designed to make developing and previewing websites in IE even easier. The
features, as described on the download site:

Explore and modify the document object model (DOM) of a web page.
Locate and select specific elements on a web page through a variety of
techniques.
Selectively disable Internet Explorer settings.
View HTML object class names, ID's, and details such as link paths, tab
index values, and access keys.
Outline tables, table cells, images, or selected tags.
Validate HTML, CSS, WAI, and RSS web feed links.
Display image dimensions, file sizes, path information, and alternate (ALT)
text.
Immediately resize the browser window to 800×600 or a custom size.
Selectively clear the browser cache and saved cookies. Choose from all
objects or those associated with a given domain.
Choose direct links to W3C specification references, the Internet Explorer
team weblog (blog), and other resources.
Display a fully featured design ruler to help accurately align objects on
your pages.

The Developer Toolbar can be pinned to the Internet Explorer browser window
or floated separately.

I've been waiting on it myself.
Thank you for bringing this release to our attention.

I hope IE7 will support user definable browser bars that developers can use
to enhance the user experience.
Using target="_search" has been a poor imitation of what Firefox and
Netscape support. Google's desktop sidebar also makes me nervous.

Ok, it must be late or I'm particularly dense tonight...

But, once installed, where on earth do I find that toolbar !? I open IE6 and
there's nothing there. Right click in the toolbar section and no IE
developer toolbar. Open FP, the same.

Wow, that is so cool Kathleen. That has got to be one of the best toolbars
MS ever made. I know I will make good use of it. Thanks for posting it.

I like it.

I noticed two issues on my first use:

1) Misc / Cookie information bombed out. A dialog popped up suggesting a
clash with other installed toolbars. It eventually shut down, after several
rounds of dialogs. Two of the components that might have been part of this,
A) the NILS accessibility toolbar and B) the Fiddler tool.

2) The ruler outlined various elements, but no sizing information.

Microsoft Anti-Spyware promptly tells me that the addition to Internet
Explorer toolbars was not allowed when installing.

You can change the MS Anti-Spyware settings to prompt your to allow the addition.

I didn't have any problem installing the IE Toolbar, as I was prompted to allow it.
