This only works for firefox, chrome, and safari, I'm not sure about IE, but there's just a different method of getting to the console in IE.

Not true, not for firefox any way - only for Chrome though.

Hmmmm, I'm not using Firefox right now, but if I remember correctly, Firefox should let you inspect element. I even remember a cool little popout 3D code thing with Firefox...

No, it does not. When I right click on any page I have options:
"Back"
"Forward"
"Reload Page"
"Stop"
"Bookmark this page"
"Save page as..."
"Send link"
"View Background Image"
"Select All"
"View Page Source"
"View Page info"
No inspect element :(

Open a chrome browser and press Ctrl+Shift+I.
Then go to console tab and paste your code and hit enter, that should do it.

Open a chrome browser and press Ctrl+Shift+I.
I don't have Chrome, though.
Web Developer Console is good enough for me...
However, sometimes it gives wierd, undetailed errors, for instance: "too much recursion"

It workcs for firefox, you just need to install a firebug, it's an addon. A developer should always have chrome, firefox and ie :)
