IE Tools

Here are some really cool tools that I was shown today by a consultant that is here on site with us. 

Toggle Borders
If you are lik me, when I want to see the table layouts in a browser I set the border=1 so I can see them...then I have to go back and reset them all to 0.  Toggle Borders is a utility that is accessed from the context menu in Internet Explorer and will color-code tables, spans and divs for you to see how the site in your browser is layed out.  Select Toggle Borders again and the color-coding is removed.   Edit:  They changed the URL, I updated it.

Full Source
Full Source actually displays the "full source" of the of page being displayed which is a lot more than what the standard "view source"  that is available in Internet Explorer.  It displays everything directly from the Internet Explorer object model.

ieHTTPHeaders
It will create another window within IE and display all of the HTTP Headers IE are sending and receiving...very good for debugging and viewing what your apps are actually sending and recieving.
