I need a way to see ajax requests being made for IE and then be able to see what those requests return. Basically firebug, but for IE. Is this possible? Doing any kind of debugging in IE is pretty much impossible. I am about ready to plan a strategy to blow up the Microsoft headquarters. Any tips on debugging in IE? Thanks for your help. ---

Hello, You might want to look at [http://projects.nikhilk.net/Projects/WebDevHelper.aspx](http://projects.nikhilk.net/Projects/WebDevHelper.aspx). I’ve used it in IE 6, I’m not sure whether it works in 7. Leon
