This helps:

There are Firebug like methods (e.g. console.debug, console.info) that will log to logcat, so you can snoop there.

In my testing I'm getting logs to W/browser, not D/WebCore, but the info is being logged there.

Error messages should show up in the log with the WebCore tag.

We answered with the same link at the same time. See my answer - it looks like the Tag isn't always WebCore - perhaps it is if the browser view is embedded in an app. – mbafford Jun 28 '10 at 15:08

As it says http://www.technomancy.org/android/javascript-debugging/ you use can use console.log(...) to log messages, and then install a log viewer to view the logs if you filter based on browser (at least on Android 2.2)
