Is there any codesnipet/sample/component/lib available for javascript exception logging at the client side? i know console logger but that's not what I'm asking for. I'm looking for some implementation with the help of web storage or web SQL. Also having iOS and chrome support

thanks,

The key need here is being able to log to local storage or web sql. There are quite a few existing frameworks out there, many support more intelligent logging to the console with different log levels and the ability to configure for different deployments, some support remote logging via AJAX calls, but I haven't run across any that do precisely what you are looking for.

One of the most prominent and active of these seems to be log4javascript. I have to confess that I haven't used it, but in looking at the code, it could be extended to add an appender for local storage or web sql.

debugging via browsers is not a problem... but console.log is not an option for me because I'm developing web app for webview so i don't have the luxury of using any conventional browser. so thought of diving into hmtl5 instead and i implemented exactly what I was asking for by myself. –  afr0 Sep 26 at 6:11

try
{
    throw new Error("hahahaha!");
}
catch (e)
{
    alert(e.message)
}

Is this what you need ?

did you read the question? afr0 is "looking for some implementation with the help of web storage or web SQL" - using alert() is even worse than using console.log() (wich is clearly stated as insufficient) because it stops script execution until you close the window instead of just logging error (wich is what a logger should do, nothing more) –  oezi Sep 20 at 10:12
