Hi all,
Question about moles:
How can I specify a local url when expanding, collapsing a toolstrip?
I can pass {url : "http://www.google.com"} and it sows correctly, but
tried several ways of passing a local html with no luck. How is it
done?
Also, is there a way of defining the collapsed/expanded html in the
manifest, and control them programatically via chrome.toolstrip.expand/
collapse ?
Thanks for your help,
Marcos
