This is a bug that came up in another thread. I filed http://crbug.com/21424 about it. The bug is that we're not handling relative URLs correctly. To work around this, use chrome.extension.getURL() to construct an URL: http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/extension.html#method-getURL > Also, is there a way of defining the collapsed/expanded html in the > manifest, and control them programatically via chrome.toolstrip.expand/ > collapse ? Not at the moment. How would you expect this to work? Just expand with no url argument specified?
