I'm writing a Chrome extension, and would like to be able to clean up given urls, so that I get their security origin. Using location.host seems to do the job, but it's not always usable - if I'd like to get the origin of an IFrame element, for instance, the call will be blocked. Looking at WebKit's source, this seems like a far from tr...
In my extension, I'm trying to determine whether a new tab was created as a popup by another tab and if so, which tab. I thought I would be able to use window.opener from a content script to help figure this out. But it looks like window.opener doesn't work correctly in content scripts. When I create a tab manually, it's window.opener ...

Where it pushes the page up and docks at the bottom. I have seen the sidebar in the 'experimental.sidebar' chrome api, but I don't w...
My Greasemonkey scripts all work in Firefox 3.6, but in Chrome 6 nothing special happens when I load a page that is supposed to trigger them. Here's an example script (pasted below) that highlights top comments on Hacker News. Can anyone identify what I'm doing wrong? When I click on the user.js file and install it in Chrome, the install...
I googled a bit with no luck. I'm wondering if a tool exists that allows a user to paste in a chunk of valid JSON, click on any of its elements, and get returned the id (path) to that element. I prefer either a web app, a Chrome extension, or a OSX or X11 app. Windows would be last resort as I'd have to run it under Crossover. I could al...

Does JavaScript have the equivalent of Python's __getattribute__? In the sense that I'd like an object, a, for which a reference to a property x is equivalent to a.__get__('x'). Trying to get this to work in V8. Possible? Example: an object which makes REST-ful calls: RESTful("some-url").foo({x:1}) => response of call to "some-url/foo?...
I want to write a Chrome extension that looks at the HTML of the page its on, and if it finds eg <div id="hello"> then it will output, as a HTML list in the popup, 'This page has a friendly div' and if it finds eg <a href="http://bananas.com">I am married to a banana</a> then it will output 'This guy is weird.' So in other words, sea...
I'm not finding a way to do this in the chrome.* API or even the experimental. It doesn't run through wscript so ActiveXObject("Shell.Application") isn't allowed. I fear that my only option is to build a dll with NPAPI but I wanted to see if there was a simpler way. ...

Let's say I have a JSON file stored within my extension called settings.json. I can get the URL of the file using chrome.extension.getURL("settings.json"); But now that I have the URL, how do I actually load the contents of that file so I can JSON.parse it and use it? The reason I'm doing this is that there is a server component,...
