Hey Schalk, you'll have to include jQuery in your popup file to reference the library there. Extension components don't automatically have access to a background page's JavaScript objects. Also, you might find it easier to load jQuery remotely rather than bundling it with your extension. For example, the Google AJAX Libraries API provides a convenient way to do so: <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js";> </script> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Chromium-extensions" group.
