javascript plunker

I'm using Plunker (http://plnkr.co/) to test JavaScript. From the browser console I want to access variables that I defined in the script.

In Plunker, can anyone tell me how to access the variable "someValue" from the browser console.

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>
    <script type="text/javascript">
      var someValue = 3
      console.log(someValue);
    </script>
</body>
</html>

Answer

I figured out one possible solution. In Google Chrome's Developer Tools on the bottom of the developer console "top frame" can be changed to "run.plnkr.co" (see image below). This will change the scope of the console and the variables in the script can now be accessed.
