How can I clear the console in firebug from Javascript?

Question

e.g., does this exist: console.clear()?

Answer 1

You can type clear(); in the Firebug command line. I don't think there's a way to do it from a web page though.

Answer 2

If you want to see all the available methods under console:

for(var i in console) {
    console.log(i);
}

Answer 3

I have to agree with Patrick on that one. There is a clear() function that you can use in the console itself, but there doesn't appear to be a way to call it from a script.

Will clear the console

Answer 6

The full list of console methods (including console.clear()) is available here:

Answer 7

even just clear(); works well in firebug console.

Answer 8

console.clear() is part of the Firebug API. I fixed the documentation page: http://getfirebug.com/wiki/index.php/Console_API#console.clear.28.29
