I'm very much new to the whole chrome extensions world.
I've read through the tutorial "hello world" pages and tried to gain an understanding of content_scripts and background.html - but I may have overdosed and can't seem to find an answer to something I'm sure is a simple task.
In a tab a site contains the following Hidden HTML:
<div class="XYZ">
<input id="form_ID" type="hidden" value="REF_CODE#Product_CODE#Product Name#">
</div>
What I'm trying to figure out is how I can Display the
- RefCode
- ProductCode
- Product Name
In a popup.html
I'm not looking at editing the html or manipulating it in any way.. it is strictly just displaying the hidden HTML - in an easy to read Popup.
Hope that makes sense..
Thanks in Advance.
UPDATE:
Popup.html
<html>
<head>
<script>
function readIds() {
console.log('Send request to content script');
document.getElementById("response").innerText = "Requesting...";
chrome.tabs.getSelected(null,function(tab){
chrome.tabs.sendRequest(tab.id, {cmd: "readIds"}, function(response){
console.log('Response from page is:' + response);
document.getElementById("response").innerText = JSON.stringify(response);
});
});
}
</script>
</head>
<body style="width:400px;">
<a href="javascript:readIds();return false;">Click to read ids</a>
<pre id="response"></pre>
</body>
</html>
Content_script.js
// add a listener to get messages from background, popup
chrome.extension.onRequest.addListener(function (request, sender, sendResponse) {
switch (request.cmd) {
case "readIds":
console.log("readIds", request);
document.getElementById("productID");
sendResponse({refCode:1, productCode: 2, productName: 3});
break;
}
});
