What is it?

Paessler Site Inspector is a comprehensive set of website and webpage analysis tools.

  • Show all images, forms, stylesheets, and scripts
  • Show frameset's HTML and a list of frames
  • Show the HTTP header
  • Show a structured view of the HTML source
  • Highlight all tables, table cells and DIV tags
  • Copy page URL, page title, or page source
  • Copy a list of all URLs of a webpage to the clipboard
  • Resize the browser to various standard screen sizes
  • Zoom into the webpage
  • Various online tools like "ping the server", "traceroute the server", "show domain owner", "W3C markup validation" and many more

Quick HTML Edit Tool Bar For IE

Quick Edit Bar

;)

Quote:

HTML Quick Edit Bar - is a freeware toolbar for Microsoft Internet Explorer that allows you to edit the current HTML page within the browser itself (change the font color, size and face, text alignment, etc.). Once edited, HTML Quick Edit Bar allows you to upload the modified page to your web site via FTP. Another feature allows you to examine and manipulate the HTML tree (which will appear in the left pane of the browser) of the current document. Using this tree, you can change and remove HTML tags and their attributes. Dragging a special cursor over the page's HTML elements, enables you to observe the place of these elements in the tree. HTML Quick Edit Bar can be useful for anyone who uses Microsoft Internet Explorer, as it allows you to modify and examine HTML documents "on the fly" when browsing.

MailEnable is a fast, easy to install and setup email server. The Standard Edition is free and can create as many post offices and mailboxes as you want. Will server pop3 and smtp, but IMAP, and webmail don't come with the standard ver. So if you just want to setup a nice email server with pop3 and smtp this would be great for you.
