This feature is deprecated (#1819). Script authors are advised to use console logging instead.
Description
This method provides a very simple logging facility.
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.
The output is displayed in the error console, and includes the namespace and name of the script before and the provided string value. So, this script:
// ==UserScript==
// @name GM_log Example
// @namespace http://www.example.com/
// ==/UserScript==
GM_log("This is an example of GM_log");
Will produce a line in the error console like:
http://www.example.com/GM_log Example: This is an example of GM_log
Compatibility: Greasemonkey 0.3b+
Syntax
function GM_log( message )
Arguments
messageString(or any object with a.toString()method) The message to display in the console.
Returns
undefined
Examples
GM_log("Hello, World!");
GM_log("Warning, " + someInputField.value + "!");
GM_log and Firebug
GM_log does not work with Firebug's console anymore. Use console.log instead.
