Cross-browser Getter and Setter

Question

This works in modern Chrome/Firefox/Opera but fails in IE8. Haven\'t tried it in IE9. How can I make this cross-browser compatible, including IE7+? (Fiddle here.)

Answer 1

I don't believe you can.

In IE8 and lower, property access is mere property access. There's no way to run function code without explicitly invoking the function.

I think in IE8 you may be able to with DOM elements, but I don't believe it works for regular native objects.
