Thanks for replying Joi. Just one small clarification. User scripts have access to *almost* none of the extension APIs. One that they do have access to is chrome.extension.getURL(). Please use this within content scripts rather than trying to build up the URL manually. It will make it easier for you while you're testing. The others that are available are chrome.extension.connect() and chrome.extension.onConnect: http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/extension.html It would be nice if we could be a bit more obvious about which are accessible and which aren't.
