# Console

_Auto generated documentation for WebKit inspector

Console domain defines methods and events for interaction with the JavaScript console. Console collects messages created by means of the <a href='http://getfirebug.com/wiki/index.php/Console_API'>JavaScript Console API</a>. One needs to enable this domain using <code>enable</code> command in order to start receiving the console messages. Browser collects messages issued while console domain is not enabled as well and reports them using <code>messageAdded</code> notification upon enabling.
