The icon never changes away from the red circle with a line through it for me. There are some network errors in the console. Looks like maybe you aren't requesting permission to the origin you're requesting. http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/xhr.html > I can provide code (a lot of it, I'm afraid), but my question is kind > of basic and shouldn't require any code.

The usual way to ask for support on this kind of group is to provide some simple sample code that shows how you are trying to use the API. That way people don't have to debug your entire program, just a small example of the problem. The browser action API can be used to change the icon per-tab or globally. If you pass a tabId to setIcon(), it changes the icon for all tabs. If you don't, it changes it for all tabs. Looks like you are using the global form. - a -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Chromium-extensions" group.
