I am using a gwt based ui design framework (called GXT). In the docs for this framework, it is mentioned that running "javascript:isc.showConsole()" when the app is running, will open the developer console in browser.

However when I run this in Chrome it instead does a google search for the command- in firefox it simply does not work.

How do I execute this javascript in firefox or chrome--

javascript:isc.showConsole()
