[crx] How to open a new URL in the popup window?

[yanivav]

Hi,

How can I open a web URL on the popup window of my extension button
(instead of the local html file which is opened according to the
manifest file)?

I tried:
<script>
window.location(http://'www.google.com');
</script>

But this isn't working...

10x!

I believe that popup windows can't be redirected to a web URL.  You could probably achieve this effect by creating an iframe to the page you want to display, though.

I think you can use the setPopup() method to change the url of the popup for the next time it is opened:

http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/dev/browserAction.html#method-setPopup

Hope it helps,

Marcos.

Use this:

<a href="whateverurl.com" target="_blank">Click me</a>

or

window.open("whateverurl.com","_blank")

Hope this helps you.

You put the quote after the http://, could that be the problem, or was it just a typo in the e-mail?

It should be

<script>

 window.open('http://www.google.com')

</script>

Also, it might be blocked by the popup blocker? Check the window icon with the red X on top of it at the right of the Omnibar (the location\address bar).

@Derek - no, that will not work without the http://.
