IE HTML Element Spy is tool that will help you to understand the structure of existing pages on the web, it is very easy to install and use, and, it is a FREEWARE! That means you can download and use it free of charge for an unlimited time.

IE HTML Element Spy can be downloaded here. Click on the Getting Started link for a screenshot.

Additionally, I like to have portable applications. Using Universal Extractor, you can extract the contents of the setup file and run IE HTML Element Spy without installing.


Edit - MODIv2 is another great tool, and it supports most major browers . (also referenced in this thread)

That's putting it mildly for me! My hatred of installation programs knows no limits. Thank you so much for sharing Universal Extractor. I have high hopes for that one!

I tried MODIv2  and it only seems to work on it's own page and only once I click the "save bookmark" link they give you.  If I surf to another page, or open another tab, it doesn't seem to be present on the other page.

You could try iWB2 Learner (iWebBrowser2) http://www.autohotke...r-iwebbrowser2/

That "save bookmark" link is meant to be saved as a bookmark - it is a bookmarklet. You execute it on every page you wanted to use it on.

 

Note, however, that many browsers now have an "Inspect Element" option which provides much of the same information.
