Intercept and convert all alerts to notifications

Question

So I'm using Gritter for notifications throughout a site, and was wondering if there was a simple way to intersept all the alert() s thrown by any script, with jQuery, and reformat the value of the alert to the body of a Gritter notification?

Answer 1

You can replace the alert function and do whatever you want with the arguments:

window.alert = function (message) {
    $.gritter.add({
        title: 'Message for you sir!',
        text: message
    });
};
