How to clear the javascript console programmatically?

Question

How we can clear the Console in Chrome, Firefox and other browsers. I've tried the following commands, but none is working:

Chrome: clear()

Firefox: console.clear()

Any ideas?

For every browser it is different so you can write some script so that it will work for different browsers. or you can use this script

console.API;

if (typeof console._commandLineAPI !== 'undefined') {
    console.API = console._commandLineAPI; //chrome
} else if (typeof console._inspectorCommandLineAPI !== 'undefined') {
    console.API = console._inspectorCommandLineAPI; //Safari
} else if (typeof console.clear !== 'undefined') {
    console.API = console;
}

console.API.clear();

so on for other browsers too.
