How do I access the popup page DOM from bg page in Chrome extension?
- by Fletcher Moore
In Google Chrome's extension developer section, it says
The HTML pages inside an extension
have complete access to each other's
DOMs, and they can invoke functions on
each other. ... The popup's contents
are a web page defined by an HTML file
(popup.html). The popup doesn't need
to duplicate code that's in the
background page (background.html)
because the popup can invoke functions
on the background page
I've loaded and tested jQuery, and can access DOM elements in background.html with jQuery, but I cannot figure out how to get access to DOM elements in popup.html from background.html.
