I m going to add to this  as it s a search that came out top on google    When using ExtJS   Javascript I insert this and the console is cleared out - unless there is an error    console log   033 2J      I m more than likely way off course  but this is how I clear the console for each page load refresh

Update  As of November 6  2012  console clear   is now available in Chrome Canary      If you type clear   into the console it clears it   I don t think there is a way to programmatically do it  as it could be misused   console is cleared by some web page  end user can t access error information   one possible workaround   in the console type window clear   clear  then you ll be able to use clear in any script on your page

I think this is no longer available due to  security issues    console log console  from code gives   Console memory  MemoryInfo profiles  Array 0    proto    Console   From outside of code   commandLineAPI is available  Kind of annoying because sometimes I want to just log and not see the old output

If you use console clear    that seems to work in chrome  Note  it will output a  Console was cleared  message     Note  I got an error right after clearing the console  so it doesn t disable the console  only clears it  Also  I have only tried this in chrome  so I dont know how cross-browser it is   EDIT  I tested this in Chrome  IE  Firefox  and Opera  It works in Chrome  MSIE and Opera s default consoles  but not in Firefox s  however  it does work in Firebug

Based on Cobbal s answer  here s what I did   In my JavaScript I put the following   setInterval function       if window clear        window clear        console log  this is highly repeated code           10     The conditional code won t run until you ASSIGN window clear  meaning your log is empty until you do so   IN THE DEBUG CONSOLE TYPE   window clear   clear    Viol   - a log that clears itself   Mac OS 10 6 8 - Chrome 15 0 874 106
