You can't log to local machine, some suggestions

  • Window.localStorage - the amount of data you can log is very small, most browsers support this but size limits vary.
  • Chrome also supports WebSQL (I don't know if it will drop this in the future) space is limited to 5MB, other browser support is different.
  • Install other software to do the logging. (Using any for of ajax request to talk to a server listening on http(s)://localhost:port. e.g. You could use socket.io to make a logger in node.js)
  • Log to the server. (Using any for of ajax request.)

You can't directly do this. You could use StackTrace.js to push the stacktrace to the server and then read it back in your web application or make it available as a download.
