Add a debug console to IE

ie_debug_console.js

//set the console log area up - only populated if IE
$('body').append('<div id="debug" style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 200px; background: #fff; display: none; visibility: hidden;"></div>')

//log messages to this function instead of using console.log
function ie_console_log(console_message) {
  try { 
    console.log(console_message) 
  } 
  catch (e) { 
    $('#debug').append('<div class="debug">'+ console_message +'</div>') 
  }
}
