executescript not working with InternetExplorer driver (Selenium)

Question

For some reason, I cannot execute any javascript using "executescript" when I run my functional tests through IE. It works with Firefox. I have searched several hours on google with no luck.

I am simply calling

browser.driver.executeScript("console.log('test');")

or

JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver
driver.executeScript("console.log('test');")

or whatever variation you please to call the executeScript method.

The stacktrace I am getting is:

org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: JavaScript error (WARNING:

It is not a problem with my "JQInstaller" class, because I took that out and just tried console.log functions. It is a problem with this "executeScript" method. I am using Selenium 2.37.1.

Have you tried the Enumerable version?

IJavaScriptExecutor js = WebDriver.driver as IJavaScriptExecutor;

if (js != null) {
     value = (string)js.ExecuteScript(javascriptArgumentAsString, element);
}
