The web developer toolbar for firefox is also good. It has some options to view the live, generated DOM as a source code, can highlight DIVs and SPANs, or it can highlight specific Classes or IDs of DOM objects.... I'd like to reiterate the need for firebug with the JS aspects, and insight from the scripting side of things, but also check out the web developer toolbar. It has a lot of great things that can help sometimes.
