'console' is undefined error in IE8

[tiliv]

I've got the javascript updated in 655e5ea to provide an alternate console (looks like what people recommend on the stackoverflow post, too).

Note that although this will be provided in a proper bugfix release over pip, I apparently messed up the pip package's structure, so that won't happen quite yet. If you would like to get this fix asap, you can do so by updating your git checkout of the repository.

Thanks for the report! We've run into this a couple of times in other code files and failed to update datatableview.

Thanks for the fast response and great tool!

I loaded up 0.5.3 and got this new error, which I think is related to this issue:

OK, ignore that last comment. It seems that IE will throw this error(s) when the page is loaded without developer tools open and the JS calls on console... Crazy...

You might want to implement this fallback if you care enough to not cause this error: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/690251/what-happened-to-console-log-in-ie8.

Ah okay. I feel like every version of IE has like 6 different configurations out in the wild that allow "console" and "localStorage" to exist or not. Bummer that it requires so much attention to prevent errors from showing. I will reopen this so that I remember to knock it out once I've got my editor in front of me.

Fair enough. Everything still works, it just shows a little error icon in the status bar. Very annoying and frustrating keeping IE8 happy...
