You are not being annoying, I simply forgot about the suggestion to use content script in accordance to your trial of making them work on extension pages. Sorry. You can control your own extension pages, so there is no need to activate any kind of content scripts on them. The content scripts enhance external pages (web pages), since you cannot touch them otherwise. I suggested using a content script for the communication, because a regular webpage does not know about your extension, so it will not send any message to it.
In case you are talking about an extension page, simply put the message receiving event in the script of the extension page, instead of in a content script. Basically, you send a message to the extension from the toolstrip, the extension page receives the message and act on it, the toolstrip waits for the next message to be received before continuing with the rest of the actions. Note that I still have not actually dealt with message events, so I still cannot advise technically enough, but I have read the suggestions over the last months and that was the main idea. ☆PhistucK On Mon, Jun 15, 2009 at 08:32, disya2 <[email protected]> wrote: > > PhistucK, > > I'm not sure we are talking about the same things. > My question was: > "I'd like to have a modal dialog, > i.e. dialog which would pause extension script execution until dialog > is closed." > > Your answer > "You can send a message to the _content script_ and act upon receiving > a > completion message back." > > My next question > "For communications between extension > script and the page I proposed to use _content-script_.
