Question

Stupid question I know but can’t seem to get this working. Using Chrome console, I need to get the height of some elements (can do with inspector, but this has become personal)

console.log$('#myDiv').height();

returns TypeError: Object # has no method ‘log$’

console.log $('#myDiv').height();

returns SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier

I know this is simple, and Ive looked around but cant see the forrest for the trees at this point.

Answer 1

console.log( $('#myDiv').height() )

console.log is a function so you need parentheses to call it, passing as argument(s) what you want to output in the console.

If typing directly into the console directly, you can omit console.log:

$('#myDiv').height()

The console automatically returns the last return value to your screen so you don’t have to console.log when using the console.
