Calling a Javascript Function from Console

Question

In Chrome\'s JavaScript console, how do I call a function that belongs to a .js file included in the webpage I am viewing?

Answer 1

This is an older thread, but I just searched and found it. I am new to using Web Developer Tools: primarily Firefox Developer Tools (Firefox v.51), but also Chrome DevTools (Chrome v.56)].

I wasn't able to run functions from the Developer Tools console, but I then found this

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Scratchpad

and I was able to add code to the Scratchpad, highlight and run a function, outputted to console per the attched screenshot.

I also added the Chrome "Scratch JS" extension: it looks like it provides the same functionality as the Scratchpad in Firefox Developer Tools (screenshot below).
