i can't figure out how to make it work. My script works by itself. but doesn't work with background.js. I want my google extension to work only if the user clicks on it's icon, so I have created the file background.js and putted the code:
chrome.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(function(tab) {
chrome.tabs.executeScript(null, {file: "change_content.js"});
});
my manifest.json here:
{
"manifest_version": 2,
"name": "Name",
"description": "change content.",
"version": "3.0",
"browser_action": {
"default_icon": "icon.png"
},
"content_scripts": [
{
"matches": ["http://*/*"],
"js": ["change_content.js"]
}
],
"background": {
"scripts": ["background.js"],
"persistent": false
},
"permissions": [
"tabs", "http://*/*"
]
}
and here is the change_content.js:
var oldSource = document.documentElement.innerHTML;
document.body.innerHTML = changeContent(oldSource);
function changeContent(source){
.....
}
