Javascript: console.log to html

You can override the default implementation of console.log()

(function () {
    var old = console.log;
    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 />';
        }
    }
})();

Demo: Fiddle

Slight improvement on @arun-p-johny answer:

In html,

<pre id="log"></pre>

In js,

(function () {
    var old = console.log;
    var logger = document.getElementById('log');
    console.log = function () {
      for (var i = 0; i < arguments.length; i++) {
        if (typeof arguments[i] == 'object') {
            logger.innerHTML += (JSON && JSON.stringify ? JSON.stringify(arguments[i], undefined, 2) : arguments[i]) + '<br />';
        } else {
            logger.innerHTML += arguments[i] + '<br />';
        }
      }
    }
})();

Start using:

console.log('How', true, new Date());

I come a bit late with a more advanced version of Arun P Johny's answer. His solution doesn't handle multiple console.log() arguments and doesn't give an access to the original function.

Here's my version:

(function (logger) {
    console.old = console.log;
    console.log = function () {
        var output = "", arg, i;

        for (i = 0; i < arguments.length; i++) {
            arg = arguments[i];
            output += "<span class=\"log-" + (typeof arg) + "\">";

            if (
                typeof arg === "object" &&
                typeof JSON === "object" &&
                typeof JSON.stringify === "function"
            ) {
                output += JSON.stringify(arg);   
            } else {
                output += arg;   
            }

            output += "</span>&nbsp;";
        }

        logger.innerHTML += output + "<br>";
        console.old.apply(undefined, arguments);
    };
})(document.getElementById("logger"));

// Testing
console.log("Hi!", {a:3, b:6}, 42, true);
console.log("Multiple", "arguments", "here");
console.log(null, undefined);
console.old("Eyy, that's the old and boring one.");

body {background: #333;}
.log-boolean,
.log-undefined {color: magenta;}
.log-object,
.log-string {color: orange;}
.log-number {color: cyan;}

<pre id="logger"></pre>

I took it a tiny bit further and added a class to each log so you can color it. It outputs all arguments as seen in the Chrome console. You also have access to the old log via console.old().

Here's a minified version of the script above to paste inline, just for you:

<script>
    !function(o){console.old=console.log,console.log=function(){var n,e,t="";for(e=0;e<arguments.length;e++)t+='<span class="log-'+typeof(n=arguments[e])+'">',"object"==typeof n&&"object"==typeof JSON&&"function"==typeof JSON.stringify?t+=JSON.stringify(n):t+=n,t+="</span>&nbsp;";o.innerHTML+=t+"<br>",console.old.apply(void 0,arguments)}}
    (document.body);
</script>

Replace document.body in the parentheses with whatever element you wish to log into.
