Hi people. Long story short: I'm writing a greasemonkey , opera and
chrome userscript, wanting to log different things to console. There's
different ways in the browsers, console.log for fx and chrome, while
opera uses window.opera.postError (and others). I therefore tried
doing this to get a variable containing the logging functionality for
all the mentioned browsers:
var log = (window.console.log || window.opera.postError);
That code raises the following confusing error:
TypeError: Illegal invocation
Realizing that the code above failed, and also would fail in opera (as
there's no console object), I am now using another approach with a
series of conditional tests to define a function calling the correct
logging function. However, as I and someone discussed in #chromium ,
shouldn't code be allowed to assign a variable to native functions?
Try this in the inspector:
var log = window.console.log;
log("foo");
and you will get an this error:
TypeError: Illegal invocation
Is this supposed to happen? Is bringing the log function out of scope,
creating this issue? It indeed works in firebug with firefox, though.
