Yeah definitely the browser that I'm in love with... I'm so in love that I send my kind (!!!) regards every day :\
Thanks for the tools...
IE8's developer toolbar looks promising, but it sucks on IE7 :(

These are some great tools. Now if we only could get something to really work on Mac so we didn't need to keep a PC in the office for testing...
