Click the "Script" tab, then click "Console" on the right. From within your JavaScript code, you can do any of the following: Also, you can clear the Console by calling console.clear(). NOTE: It appears you must launch the Developer Tools first then refresh your page for this to work. share|improve this answer answered Apr 17 '10 at 1:40 Craig 3,51422030 2 Ah, even though it falls short of Firebug, it still has just enough of what I need.

If you hide the developer tools window for that tab, the console object remains exposed for each page you navigate to. If you open a new tab, you must also open the developer tools for that tab in order for the console object to be exposed. The console object is not part of any standard and is an extension to the Document Object Model. Like other DOM objects, it is considered a host object and is not required to inherit from Object, nor its methods from Function, like native ECMAScript functions and objects do. This is the reason apply
priceless. That's why I'm a huge fan of Firebug's JavaScript console. But what about IE? option 1 - Firebug lite Firebug lite is a lighter version of the proper Firebug which runs in browsers other than Firefox. You "install" the bookmarklet and voila - JavaScript console and other goodies are available on any page. You visit any page and click the "Firebug lite" bookmarklet... ... then you hack away in the shiny console! option 2 - built-in MS script editor/debugger If you do any javascript in IE, it's a good idea to have this debugger guy enabled. There's actually at least three different debuggers, but one of them is already installed without you lifting a finger. If you enable it, you can debug any time there's a JavaScript error on the page. It also features a console! You can't get to the console unless there's a JS error, so you may need to cause the error yourself. Here's the step-by-step scenario. Go to menu Tools / Internet Options... / Advanced tab. Under the "Browsing" category uncheck the box that says "Disable Script Debugging" Go to any page and cause an error, by typing in the address bar some non-existing property or some non-existing object for example. Like javascript:alert(a.a.a) Non-surprisingly, you get an error, but now you have the option of debugging the error: You're given a list of debuggers, in case you've installed more debuggers from MS. Select your debugger or just hit Yes: Just say OK here... Click "Break"... Finally - a console! We're in! The console is the so-called "Immediate" window, which is not displayed by default. To see it go to menu Debug / Windows / Immediate. Then just start fiddling with the page. Type anything and hit enter to see it evaluated. You also list the properties of an object by typing its name, like document.images[0] or just document. On
