I am using a gwt based ui design framework (called GXT). In the docs for this framework, it is mentioned that running "javascript:isc.showConsole()" when the app is running, will open the developer console in browser.
However when I run this in Chrome it instead does a google search for the command- in firefox it simply does not work.
How do I execute this javascript in firefox or chrome--
javascript:isc.showConsole()

Reset to default 12Bookmarklets cannot be executed in the location bar/omnibox any more.
You have to bookmark the javascript: link before it can be executed.
A better solution is using the built-in Developer tools, in which code can be pasted and executed in the current page:
- Firefox: Ctrl Shift K - See Using the web console.
- Chrome: Ctrl Shift J - See Developer tools.
In Chrome, you add a tab, open bookmarks - click Other Bookmarks, right click in the bookmarks area, click add new page - and paste the URL.
In Firefox, just manage your bookmarks, click on the folder, right click in the bookmarks section and click New Bookmark.
You have to put the command in the URL of the very SmartGWT application that you're developing, not any blank page.
Making it become a bookmark bar is a good idea, click that bookmark when you're opening the application will open the console for you.
