That method actually relates to a different feature than the browser actions. There is an experimental "popup" feature that is different than the popups that go with browser actions. The experimental popup is more like an overlay. It allows a small rectangular window with no chrome to be placed anywhere over the browser. This close() method goes with that. It is actually possible to close a browser action popup already by calling window.close() inside the popup. It isn't possible to *open* a popup on purpose. We were afraid that this would get annoying for users and wouldn't be done in a consistent way. What is your use case for wanting to open the popup programmatically? - a -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Chromium-extensions" group.
