Preventing elements in popup.html from reloading

[Steve W]

Hi,

If my popup.html contains a frame that loads an external page, is
there a way to prevent the frame from reloading each time the popup is
invoked? I see that background.html is constantly active in the
background, so can the frame be loaded in background.html and embed
background.html in popup.html instead? Alternatively, can
document.importnode be used to move the node from background.html to
popup.html?

Thanks
Steve

Whoa, I had never heard of document.importNode. This actually appears to work, at least for a simple div inside the background page itself (I haven't tested with contents from an iframe).

In my popup.html:

<script>

var bg = chrome.extension.getBackgroundPage();

var node = document.importNode(bg.document.getElementById("foo"), true);

document.body.appendChild(node);

</script>
