Microsoft Downloads - Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar Beta 3

"...

This Beta 3 version of the toolbar contains functionality and stability enhancements over previous versions, including:

  • Style Tracer: Right mouse click on a style value for an element and select Style Tracer to find the style rule that is effecting that value.
  • CSS Selector Matches: View a report of all style rules set and how many times they are used on the current page.
  • View Source: View the formatted and syntax colored source of the original page, currently rendered page, element or element with the styles that are effecting it.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Please visit the Developer Toolbar Wiki on Channel 9 to enter bug reports, comments, and suggestions.

To get it to install on my Vista install, I first unblocked the EXE and then ran the MSI from a "Run as Admin" command prompt.

Initially I tried just double clicking on the MSI and clicking through all the normal security dialogs, but that didn't seem to work. Maybe I wasn't patient enough or had a running instance of IE in the background, etc, etc...

Still the second install try ("Run as Admin" comment prompt install) worked right off, so... draw your own conclusions. Your mileage may vary, yada...

Update #1 1/9/2007 @ 6:22PM PST:
On the IEBlog there's some more in-depth information and pictures... ;)
