Which API to detect link hover?

[JoshI]

Hi All,

New to Chrome extensions, struggling to figure out which API I should be looking at. I need one that will allow to detect when the user is hovering over a link, and allow me to get access to some info for link, at least the url.

What would you recommend?

Thanks,

Josh

I'd recommend using JavaScript for that.

var a=document.getElementsByTagName('a');
for (i=0;i<a.length;i++) {
  a[i].addEventListener('mouseover', function() {
    ...
  });
};

​HTH,​

That sounds good, thanks! One concern though, I need my extension to be effective even while the page is still loading, with this method seems likely there would be a period between links being visible on the page, and these listeners being added. That likely?
