Non-standard
This feature is non-standard and is not on a standards track. Do not use it on production sites facing the Web: it will not work for every user. There may also be large incompatibilities between implementations and the behavior may change in the future.
Outputs a warning message to the Web Console.
Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.
Note: In Firefox, warnings have a small exclamation point icon next to them in the Web Console log.
Syntax
