Chrome:
- Press either CTRL + SHIFT + J to open the "Console" tab of the Developer Tools.
Alternative method:
Press either CTRL + SHIFT + I or F12 to open the Developer Tools.
Press ESC (or click on "Show console" in the bottom right corner) to slide the console up.
Note: In Chrome's dev tools, there is a "Console" tab. However, a smaller "slide-up" console can be opened while any of the other tabs is active.
Safari:
Press CTRL + ALT + I to open the Web Inspector.
See Chrome's step 2. (Chrome and Safari have pretty much identical dev tools.)
Note: Step 1 only works if the "Show Develop menu in menu bar" check box in the Advanced tab of the Preferences menu is checked!
IE9:
Press F12 to open the developer tools.
Click the "Console" tab.
Firefox:
- Press CTRL + SHIFT + K to open the Web console.
or, if Firebug is installed (recommended):
Press F12 to open Firebug.
Click on the "Console" tab.
Opera:
Press CTRL + SHIFT + I to open Dragonfly.
Click on the "Console" tab.
