RSSMicrosoft Releases IE Developer Toolbar

After over a year and a half of beta testing, Microsoft on Thursday made available the final version of its Developer Toolbar for Internet Explorer 6 and 7. The add-on enables users to analyze the code of a Web page by color coding the HTML source, matching CSS selectors to page elements, and even offering a pixel ruler.
While the 1.0 release offers no new functionality over Beta 3, Microsoft says it has improved reliability and the fit-and-finish of the toolbar. "This tool is a direct response to your requests for free web developer tools and we hope you enjoy it. However, we see this as only the first response to your requests not only for tools, but for making development for IE easier," wrote IE program manger John Hrvatin on the IEBlog. Similar toolbars are available for Firefox.

The BetaNews Staff forgot to mention along with Firefox's tools that Opera has several tools that can be used as well via the dev tools and widgets. ;)
Props to Microsoft for beginning to make us all smile for once, haha. They couldn't ignore us forever. ;) But that is why there are alternative browsers..so Microsoft is pushed enough to actually develop something useful, lol.

It is actually a very handle tool considering you HAVE to design for compability with IE7. Sure, Firefox has several extensions that do this...but the point is that now we have something similar for IE7.
This is a great web design tool!
