Adding an "if console" around the javascript in the text node should fix that. It sounds like you're using IE without any javascript debugger.

thx, great snippet! but you need to comment it out after development. besides those errors in IE8 @guymoller mentioned, ie7 crashes completely. if (console) does not fix that.

Thanks for the heads up, but I'm not sure I follow. If you're wrapping everything in an if(console), how does the code run in IE 7?
