Messaging from iframe to extension

[Ben McCann]

Hi,

I'd like to message between an iframe and extension. I've found that sending a message from the iframe to the extension with chrome.runtime.sendMessage works only if I've listed both the domain of the web page containing the iframe and the domain of the page in the iframe src in the manifest's externally_connectable. Is it expected that I should have to list the domain of the parent page in externally_connectable? I'd like the extension to be able to message with my webpage in an iframe regardless of the site that holds it, but this seems impossible since externally_connectable will not let you wildcard the domain. Any suggestions on how I might accomplish this?

Thanks,

Ben

Think this example might be what you want to do.

I'd suggest writing a simple repro and posting a bug to http://crbug.com/new
