Console undefined issue in IE8 [duplicate]

Answer 1

Try using a condition like this instead, as if console is not supported it will throw undefined not false;

if(typeof console !== "undefined") {
console.log('removing child');
}

However to prevent having to wrap all your console log statemnts I would just put this snippet in your code. This will stop IE throwing any error

if(typeof console === "undefined") {
    console = {
        log: function() { },
        debug: function() { },
        ...
    };
}
