Been a while since I've done a bunch of IE6/7 debugging, but firebug-lite
works (there's also moobugger which has a bookmarklet, but I haven't updated
it in forever so your mileage may vary:
http://www.clientcide.com/scripts/moobugger/). The other thing I use is
XRAY:

Finally, the MSFT script debugger is the best way to actually debug JS. It's
a pain in the ass to use, but it's the best option out there for those
browsers.
