Lightweight alternatives to firebug lite

The website I'm debugging in ie6 has lots and lots of inefficient legacy code and when I try and run firebug lite to try and figure out a tricky hasLayout issue it crashes ie6.

Is there an alternative to firebug lite which simply recreates firebug's html tab and inspect element features?

edit I tried MODI, but as it only offers an inspect feature, with no DOM traversal, it's useless for debugging elements which aren't showing up on the screen because of a hasLayout bug.

    Try the Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar, which you can install for IE6/7.

    Later versions of IE include the very similar Developer Tools.
