Folks,
I start chrome from the command line with a default page loaded.
The default page is below.
<html>
<body onload="moduleDidLoad()">
<object id = "blah"/>
<script>
function moduleDidLoad() {
id = document.getElement("blah");
// Call some function on id
}
function urlLoad(url) {
}
</script>
</html>
Chrome also has an extension associated with it.
This extension has a java script file tagged as background.
It intercepts the url.
So when the user types www.google.com, I need to send the url
www.google.com to urlLoad function in page A and prevent the new page
associated with www.google.com from getting loaded. I need chrome to
continue to display Page A.
Page A is not defined in the manifest.json.
manifest.json looks something like this:
{
"name": "URL mapper",
"description": "URL mapper",
"version": "1.0.0",
"default_locale": "en",
"permissions": [
"contextMenus", "tabs", "webRequest",
"webRequestBlocking", "http://*/*", "https://*/*"
],
"background": {
"scripts": ["url_script.js"]
}
}
If the above is not possible since page A is not known to the
extension - I can make Page A part of the extension.
Everything Page A, extension is under my control.
Any pointers on how I can go about doing this ?

1st - I would put your moduleDidLoad() function definition -above-
where you use it on the body tag.
I modify the experience of Google in my extension - but it looks like
you want to -intercept- it.
I would recommend using the webRequest's onBeforeRequest event to
redirect to another page of yours..
You could also present page A via a modification technique instead of
interception - simply setup a content script to be injected to all
www.google.com pages you want to intercept, be sure to inject on
document_start, and inject css that hides the page body, and insert
your page.
