Logging in the console of firebug without errors in IE

In some cases the console in firebug is really helpfull. For instance when you are debugging mouse-events. The downside of using "console.log()" is that it triggers errors in IE. But there is a really simple sollution for that problem. Include the folowing line of code in one of your js scripts and no more errors in IE:

if(!console){var console = new Object();console.log = function(){}}

This snippet is tested in IE7 and IE6
