How do I initialise static variables in javascript static class?

Question

I have a static class in javascript...

var Logger = {
    logtofirefox: function (str, priority) {

         console.log(str);        

    },
    logtoie: function (str, priority) {

         alert(str);        

    }

}

I call it like this from another file...

Logger.log('Hello World');

But I want to inject the string 'log : ' before the words 'Hello World' on all functions.

Wondering if this is possible with minimum fuss?

From the given Logger object I'd say the call Logger.log('Hello World'); would throw a TypeError: Object #<Object> has no method 'log' — KooiInc

Just update the output for each function :

var Logger = {
    logtofirefox: function (str, priority) {
         console.log('log : ' + str);        
    },
    logtoie: function (str, priority) {
         alert('log : ' + str);        
    }
};

This isnt really what I was looking for. You are duplicating code, what if I have multiple statements I have to then maintain multiple strings. I want to be able to do it all from one place. One static string....
