Equivalent Of Firefox's "error Console" In Other Browsers

Is there an equivalent to Firefox's 'Error console' in other browsers? I find the error console handy for finding JavaScript errors, but there doesn't seem to be an equivalent simp

Solution 1:

You have following options

• Chrome: Press Ctrl+Shift+J (Cmd+Option+J on Mac) and it will give similar functionality. Also consider checking out JavaScript debugger in Chrome
• IE7: Nothing built in. But have a look at IE Developer Toolbar
• IE8: Just hit F12 and you will get access to some very capable built-in tools. Error console is on Script tab
• Firefox: Just use FireBug Press F12. The built-in tools are now quiet good.
• Opera: Press Ctrl+Shift+I (Cmd+Option+I on Mac) to launch Opera Drangonfly which is a fully featured development and debugging tool integrated into the Opera browser
• Safari: Enable the Developer Menu from Safari's preferences. It will give access the various tools (Error Console, Web Inspector, JavaScript Profiler, etc). Of course there are also shortcuts, like Cmd + Alt + C for the console

Solution 2:

I use Ctrl+Shift+J in Chrome, and it's got something close in there. IE -- there's the IE Developer Toolbar, and I think IE8 has something like that, but let's face it, if you're using IE for Javascript debugging, you basically hate yourself and have more serious personal issues regarding your self-esteem to deal with.

Solution 3:

Any of these:

Hit F12 or Ctrl+Shift+I
right-click on any element on the page, and"Inspect Element"
Wrench button -> Tools -> Developer Tools

Then go to Console tab

Solution 4:

If you use Firefox's error-console you should consider the Firebug plugin.

There is also Firebug Lite -- a bookmarklet that brings a scaled-down version of Firebug to other browsers.

Solution 5:

In Opera it's under Tools->Advanced->Error Console. I find it very handy.
