Description terje7601 2015-08-14 09:30:04 UTC 
When I log a JavaScript object/function in Firefox, I get something like this:
console.log(Framework, Framework.Api);
undefined
Object { ... } function Api()

Clicking on an object shows a tree-view of its structure. Clicking on a function goes to the declaration in the source.

In NetBeans, logging an object is not really useful currently: you just get an opaque text "[object Object]". Logging a function is better in that it dumps the function definition, but I'd much prefer the Firefox way here as well: it keeps the Browser Log window clean & you can immediately make a change in the function if desired.
