problem Injecting content script from a visible background page

[Chromelody]

Please help

I want to make use of the UI (ie: button and textarea, etc..) on my background page. So I create a visible background from the hidden background page (hiddenbackground.html) using: chrome.tabs.create({url: chrome.extension.getURL('visiblebackground.html')});. But when try injecting content script in to a regular webpage using: chrome.tabs.executeScript(specTab.id, {file:  "script.js"});, Chrome complains saying: 

" Unchecked runtime.lastError while running tabs.executeScript: Cannot access contents of url "chrome-extension://omjklcnhgmbdjadleonimbbmimmilmhd/visiblebackground.html". Extension manifest must request permission to access this host.

    at Object.callback (chrome-extension://omjklcnhgmbdjadleonimbbmimmilmhd/visiblebackground.js:19:25)"

here is my manifest.json

{  "name"             : "retrieve info from optionPage and insert into a webpage",

   "version"          : "1.0",

   "description"      : "Step 2: copy text from option page to google Drawings",

   "manifest_version" : 2,

   "icons"            : { "64"  : "pp64.png"},

 

   "background"       : { "page"     :  "hiddenbackground.html"},

  

  "browser_action"   : { "default_title" : "option page to google Drawings",

 

    "default_icon"  : "pp64.png"},

   "permissions"      : ["background", "tabs", "http://*/*", "file://*/*", "https://*/*"]

}

if you need more detail my extension can be found in: https://github.com/peterhot/Injecting-content-script-from-visible-background-page

I think you need to add

"web_accessible_resources": ["'visiblebackground.html"]

to your manifest file

Hi Wolf War! thanks for your suggestion.

Adding "web_accessible_resources": ["'visiblebackground.html"] to manifest.json is still giving me the same error. What else can you suggest?

Thanks

HI WW,

I have a try on chrome.downloads.onDeterminingFilename.addListener() but didn't get any where. I am pretty new to chrome extension. I can't find much info on it on the net either. I will use the non-silent saving method you show me earlier and wait for some one/some day to post a simple example. 

Thanks
