Is there a Firebug or Firepath for I.E. out there?

[valm...@gmail.com]

I have been asked to automate a company website which only supports Internet Explorer using Webdriver (Yes I was baffled to discover that only I.E. is supported, I never knew such websites still existed for an external website!)
Is there a tool or an Add-on out there that can give you the xpaths and CSS selectors of elements in I.E. similar to firebug and firepath in Firefox.
I know about the Developer Tools in I.E. but it does not show you the xpath or css.

Thanks

Have a look at firebug lite:

If I'm not mistaken, Firebug Lite won't offer a way to test the XPath & CSS, though it can show you the DOM/HTML source. Does it even provide an XPath/CSS generator like FirePath does? But combine Firebug Lite or some other way to offer a developer javascript console to IE (not the native IE one) and you can use this approach to test out whether some XPath/CSS expression is valid in IE or not.

note that the technique above won't work with the native IE developer javascript console, but can with Firebug Lite and similar tools for IE.
