Do all browsers support this? I would like to output an error using console.log() but was wondering if this supported by all browsers?

console.         


        

Answer 1

Although not all browsers support that, it can be accomplished with a small chunk of code.

In his book, "Secrets of Javascript Ninja", John Resig (creator of jQuery) has a really simple code which will handle cross-browser console.logissues. He explains that he would like to have a log message which works with all browsers and here is how he coded it:

 function log() {
  try {
     console.log.apply(console, arguments);
  } catch(e) {
  try {
     opera.postError.apply(opera, arguments);
  }
  catch(e) {
     alert(Array.prototype.join.call( arguments, " "));
  }
}
