For any css nightmares as well as other web development madness, I'm going to keep a list of tools I continually use. So here goes:

• Firefox (goes without saying)


• MultipleIEs (stand alone installer): install ie 7 and then get this installer to install version 4.5 to 6 for testing


• Firebug (firefox plug-in): any tweaking that you want to do on the fly to see how your page reacts, I would die without this plug-in


• Web Developer Toolbar (firefox plug-in): useful enough to install it, has some pretty nice features


• Yslow (firefox firebug plug-in from yahoo): profiles speed of page and gives suggestions


• Fiddler (ie plug-in): good profiling tool/ request sniffer


• IE Developer Toolbar (ie plug-in): gah, if this thing was only 1/10 as good as Firebug, but they don't make Firebug for IE


• CSSVista (standalone app): if it didn't crash so often and wasn't so bloody slow, I would forsake all other css apps and do all my css work in it

I'll post links later. For now google them, I'll post more essential tools as I use them...
