Dump console.log Directly Into HTML for Debugging
Today I needed to debug a website on an old iPad. I didn’t have a quick way to remotely debug an old Safari on my Ubuntu laptop, so I thought that I could dump console output into HTML instead. To do this, 2 things are needed:
An empty div:
<div id="log"></div>
A custom console.log function:
(function () {
var logger = document.getElementById('log');
console.log = function (message) {
if (typeof message == 'object') {
logger.innerHTML += (JSON && JSON.stringify ? JSON.stringify(message) : message) + '<br />';
} else {
logger.innerHTML += message + '<br />';
}
}
})();
Then you can walk around your code and wrap suspicious parts in a try catch block:
try {
(...) // suspected code
} catch (e) {
console.log({ e }, e.message, e.stack);
}
