Compact Output

INFO 361ms (+361) 6:33:01 PM: LogReader  instance0: LogReader initialized
INFO 0ms (+0) 6:33:00 PM: global: Logger initialized

Example: Compact Ouput

Log a simple message

By default, log messages are printed to the console with a good deal of whitespace for better readability. In this example, verbose output has been disabled so each message gets output on a single line without wrapping.

Sample Code

1<body> 
2<div id="compact"></div> 
3 
4<script type="text/javascript"> 
5var myCompact = new YAHOO.widget.LogReader("compact", {verboseOutput:false}); 
6myCompact.setTitle("Compact Output");

Example: Footer Disabled

Log a simple message

By default, the footer displays checkboxes for easy filtration of log messages by category and by source, as well as buttons to pause/resume output and clear the console. In this example, the footer is hidden from the UI, but filters can still be enabled or disabled programmatically.

Hide "info" Category Show "info" Category

Sample Code

1<body> 
2<div id="compact"></div> 
3 
4<script type="text/javascript"> 
5var myFooterDisabled = new YAHOO.widget.LogReader("nofooter", {footerEnabled:false});
