mvc3 google api Microsoft JScript runtime error: 'console' is undefined

Question

I am using google maps api on my MVC3 website everything works perfect on Firefox but in Internet explorer I get a error message saying Microsoft JScript runtime error: 'console' is undefined . I have tried to fix this the code that is highlighted is console.log("changed: " + $(object).attr('id')); the portion of that code is

  $(document).bind("location_changed", function (event, object) {
    console.log("changed: " + $(object).attr('id'));

});

the Console is only causing problems with Internet Explorer . How can i fix that.. and i got the code from http://www.wimagguc.com/projects/jquery-latitude-longitude-picker-gmaps/

IE8 and lower does not have a console. Some browsers do not have a console, so when using the console in javascript, it's a best practice to see if it exists first:

$(document).bind("location_changed", function (event, object) {
    if (window.console) {
        console.log("changed: " + $(object).attr('id'));
    }
});

You can see this answer for how to turn console.log into alerts when console is not defined.
