DbgCons is a JavaScript debug console, for use in browsers. It spawns a console window where you can dump data structures and print all kinds of debugging output from your JavaScript code.
DbgCons requires popup privileges! Or you will not see a thing.
DbgCons is GPL licensed.
Try it out (requires popup privileges):
Recently tested to work in the following browsers:
Older versions of Mozilla, Opera and Konqueror have worked in the past, at least to some extent (Opera and Konqueror only grew up recently), but I have not tested them since the code was restructured and labelled version 2.
DbgCons dates back to the version 4 browsers where I started developing JavaScript apps. I wasted too much time clicking alert()'s and got too little information from them, so I wrote the console as a replacement for alert().
I decided to release it because I recently (2005) realized it might be useful to others. First I was going to clean it up a little. That ended with an almost complete rewrite, getting rid of some old spaghetti code, and adding some features.
