Print value of JavaScript variable in console

Question

I have a JavaScript variable that is storing some values.

Can I echo it in Firebug or somewhere to see what values are being stored?

var p = user.permissions;

I think console.log works in every js debugger that has a console. — jeschafe

Does this answer your question? JavaScript: How do I print a message to the error console? — TylerH

Never mind. I had to add this line

var p = user.permissions;

Before:

console.log(p);

I was just typing console.log(p);

is there a way to display the runtime value of a variable by printing the value of the variable using some console commands?
