If something is wrong, please explain possible that I misunderstood this article on MSDN.

The _IE functions are primarily for the DOM and do not cover the F12 developer tools or the debugging console.

After getting an IE object using _IEAttach or _IECreate you can use AutoIT's COM functionality to access it yourself though.  E.g.

Local $o_Console=$o_IE.top.document.parentWindow.console
 $o_Console.log("Hello")

; Create a browser window and navigate to a website

#include <IE.au3>

Local $oIE = _IECreate("about:blank")
Local $o_Console = $oIE.top.document.parentWindow.console
MsgBox(0, 'VarGetType($o_Console)', VarGetType($o_Console))
$o_Console.log("Hello")

This short piece of code does not work, did something else I missed? 

[DougShields]

Looks like I added .top when I posted the code.  It should be

Local $o_Console = $o_IE.document.parentWindow.console

For me (Win 8.1 / IE 11) it requires the developer tools to already be open, and the document mode to be 5, 7, or 8.  You could automate that with ControlSend() and WinWait() if you wanted.
