A tutorial I'm doing uses firebug lite in IE8 to run jquery code, inspect the DOM, etc. I have a link reference to firebug lite so that I can use it in IE8. I know I can use firebug in FF and I know about the inspect tool in IE8, however, since firebug lite is supposed to be compatible with IE8, I'd like to use it in IE8. Can anyone help me out?

 <script type="text/javascript" src="https://getfirebug.com/firebug-lite.js"></script>

Thanks

It should work by just adding this script to the of your document.

Just note that there's a recent bug that prevents that little icon to appear at the lower-right corner of the screen:
