Hi Jonna,
When you mean "attaching", do you want popup.html to have access to the
content script? If so, you can use message communication between the Popup
and the Content script of the current tab.
For example, in your popup.html you can do something like this:
> chrome.tabs.getSelected(null, function(tab) {
// Send a request to the content script.
chrome.tabs.sendRequest(tab.id, {action: "giveMeSomething"},
> function(response) {
console.log(response.result);
});
});
While your content script should listen:
> chrome.extension.onRequest.addListener(function(request, sender,
> sendResponse) {
if (request.action == "giveMeSomething")
sendResponse({result: "Some result from content script"});
else
sendResponse({}); // Send nothing..
});
I explained this for someone in stackedoverflow,
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1964225/accessing-current-tab-dom-object-from-popup-html/1964445#1964445
That is one of the ways to actually let your popup script to read anything
from the content script, that is called a simple one time request. Another
way which is a long living connection between your extension and the content
script is to use chrome.extension.connect(), for more information regarding
