Description
This API method allows script authors simple access to logging informational messages in the Error Console.
If you aren't seeing your messages, make sure you navigate to about:config, and change the values of javascript.options.showInConsole and javascript.options.strict to true. This can be helpful for debugging.
Examples | GM_log and Firebug | Notes
Syntax
GM_log( message )
- Value: Function
- Returns: Nothing
- Compatibility: Greasemonkey 0.3b+
Parameters Properties message
- All properties are optional except message.
Properties
message
- Value: String, Integer[1] or Boolean[1]
- Usage:
message = "ARGHHH!";
- Message to send to the JavaScript error console.
- [1] While the value may be a non-string, it will convert the argument to a string. There may also be some instances of visual clipping on large numerical values during conversion. This is a feature present in Mozilla based JavaScript console logging.
Examples
GM_log("Hello, World!");
GM_log("Warning, " + someInputField.value + "!");
GM_log and Firebug
Since Firebug 1.0, extensions.firebug.showChromeMessages must be set to true for GM_log messages to show up in the Firebug console.
