Is there a way to log to console without breaking code under IE?

Question

I\'m trying to use console.log to put some logging into the javascript side of my program. I noticed, though, that unless the dev console is open in IE, JS basically stops worki

Answer 1

IE has its own console, and you wont want to override console if you're using firebug lite. Just make sure that console exists when log gets called:

if (window.console) console.log('foo bar baz', fizz, buzz);

Better yet, use && to shortcut:

window.console && console.log('foo bar baz', fizz, buzz);
