有时控制台可以在IE8/9中工作，但在其他时候会失败。这种不稳定的行为取决于你是否打开了开发工具，并在stackoverflow问题中描述了IE9是否支持console.log，这是一个真实的函数吗?

在IE9中，如果控制台未打开，以下代码:

alert(typeof console);

会显示“对象”，但这个代码

alert(typeof console.log);

将抛出TypeError异常，但不返回未定义的值;

因此，保证版本的代码将类似于:

try {
    if (window.console && window.console.log) {
        my_console_log = window.console.log;
    }
} catch (e) {
    my_console_log = function() {};
}

Try

if (!window.console) console = ...

未定义的变量不能直接引用。但是，所有全局变量都是全局上下文(浏览器为窗口)同名的属性，访问未定义的属性是可以的。

或者使用if (typeof console === 'undefined') console =…如果你想避开神奇的变量窗口，请参阅@Tim Down的回答。

注意到OP在IE中使用Firebug，所以假设它是Firebug Lite。当调试器窗口打开时，在IE中定义控制台，这是一种奇怪的情况，但是当Firebug已经在运行时会发生什么呢?不确定，但在这种情况下，"firebugx.js"方法可能是一个很好的测试方法:

来源:

https://code.google.com/p/fbug/source/browse/branches/firebug1.2/lite/firebugx.js?r=187

    if (!window.console || !console.firebug) {
        var names = [
            "log", "debug", "info", "warn", "error", "assert",
            "dir","dirxml","group","groupEnd","time","timeEnd",
            "count","trace","profile","profileEnd"
        ];
        window.console = {};
        for (var i = 0; i < names.length; ++i)
            window.console[names[i]] = function() {}
    }

You can use the below to give an extra degree of insurance that you've got all bases covered. Using typeof first will avoid any undefined errors. Using === will also ensure that the name of the type is actually the string "undefined". Finally, you'll want to add a parameter to the function signature (I chose logMsg arbitrarily) to ensure consistency, since you do pass whatever you want printed to the console to the log function. This also keep you intellisense accurate and avoids any warnings/errors in your JS aware IDE.

if(!window.console || typeof console === "undefined") {
  var console = { log: function (logMsg) { } };
}

在使用控制台之前，将以下内容粘贴到JavaScript的顶部:

/**
 * Protect window.console method calls, e.g. console is not defined on IE
 * unless dev tools are open, and IE doesn't define console.debug
 * 
 * Chrome 41.0.2272.118: debug,error,info,log,warn,dir,dirxml,table,trace,assert,count,markTimeline,profile,profileEnd,time,timeEnd,timeStamp,timeline,timelineEnd,group,groupCollapsed,groupEnd,clear
 * Firefox 37.0.1: log,info,warn,error,exception,debug,table,trace,dir,group,groupCollapsed,groupEnd,time,timeEnd,profile,profileEnd,assert,count
 * Internet Explorer 11: select,log,info,warn,error,debug,assert,time,timeEnd,timeStamp,group,groupCollapsed,groupEnd,trace,clear,dir,dirxml,count,countReset,cd
 * Safari 6.2.4: debug,error,log,info,warn,clear,dir,dirxml,table,trace,assert,count,profile,profileEnd,time,timeEnd,timeStamp,group,groupCollapsed,groupEnd
 * Opera 28.0.1750.48: debug,error,info,log,warn,dir,dirxml,table,trace,assert,count,markTimeline,profile,profileEnd,time,timeEnd,timeStamp,timeline,timelineEnd,group,groupCollapsed,groupEnd,clear
 */
(function() {
  // Union of Chrome, Firefox, IE, Opera, and Safari console methods
  var methods = ["assert", "cd", "clear", "count", "countReset",
    "debug", "dir", "dirxml", "error", "exception", "group", "groupCollapsed",
    "groupEnd", "info", "log", "markTimeline", "profile", "profileEnd",
    "select", "table", "time", "timeEnd", "timeStamp", "timeline",
    "timelineEnd", "trace", "warn"];
  var length = methods.length;
  var console = (window.console = window.console || {});
  var method;
  var noop = function() {};
  while (length--) {
    method = methods[length];
    // define undefined methods as noops to prevent errors
    if (!console[method])
      console[method] = noop;
  }
})();

函数闭包包装器的作用域是不定义任何变量。这可以防止未定义的控制台和未定义的console.debug(以及其他缺失的方法)。

编辑:我注意到HTML5 Boilerplate在其js/plugins.js文件中使用了类似的代码，如果你正在寻找一个将(可能)保持最新的解决方案。
