I agree that the Developer Toolbar for IE is much better than the FF version. And Devel is very useful for checking pageload but it consumes so much RAM by itself that I would only recommend using it sparingly, and on non-production sites or in maintenance mode. But honestly the <strong>most</strong> valuable tool for Drupal development is a little thing called <strong>print_r()</strong>.

It's been quite a week :) I jacked up some stuff and decided to get this out on Sunday... oddly enough, it's my most popular post ever. Don't worry, next week is pretty impressive :) and in about 2 or 3 weeks, I'll work on an even better "this many things" post Stay Tuned :) -= Sean =-

CCK and Views are also very important, an ADMIN MENU is very useful too while development because visit more deep pages again again. - Tanya <a href="http://www.unitedsol.net" title="Web Design Firm">Web Design Firm</a>
