OpenLayers. Console

log: function()

Log an object in the console.  The Firebug Lite console logs string representation of objects.  Given multiple arguments, they will be cast to strings and logged with a space delimiter.  If the first argument is a string with printf-like formatting, subsequent arguments will be used in string substitution.  Any additional arguments (beyond the number substituted in a format string) will be appended in a space- delimited line.

Examples

// Firebug Lite logs someObject.toString()
OpenLayers.Console.log(someObject);

// string substitution
OpenLayers.Console.log("%s jumped over %s", cow, moon);
