Problem with Chrome Extensions

Question

Hi, I'm trying to write a chrome extension that will take the URL of the page the user is on and send it to a server for a response back.

So far I have been trying to use 'chrome.tabs.getCurrent()', but I get uncaught TypeError on the getCurrent object.

Is there an easy way for doing this?

Answer 1

Any reason why you don't want to use getSelected()?

chrome.tabs.getSelected(windowId, function(tab) {
    alert("current:"+tab.url);
});
