Inspect element with pseudo-class in IE

I'm looking for a method to inspect elements styled using pseudo-classes (such as :hover) from IE.

I am able to do this with Firefox using the Firebug HTML style drop-down that allows the browser to apply a pseudo-class to a selected element:

I am also able to do this in Chrome by toggling the element state:

However, I have not been able to find a similar option with IE developer tools. I've tried using Firebug Lite, but the same option that is present in Firefox does not seem to be in the Lite version.

Is there a way to apply pseudo-classes to elements in IE (similar to Firefox and Chrome) so that I may see how it's being styled, or otherwise observe pseudo-class styling in IE?

Solution

  • I've never found this in the native developer tools included with IE.
