Hello,

I am working on porting over an existing firefox extension to chrome.
So far it is going quite well. I am running into an issue with
retrieving variables stored on the document object. In my content
script I assign a variable on the document:

document.foo = "bar"

And then later, in a click event (on an element my content script
added, and bound click event to) if I try to retrieve the value, it
does not seem to be defined. If I redefine it in this click event, it
is defined in subsequent click calls. It seems that click event is
executing in a different context than the rest of my code (at least in
respect to the document object). However, If I store the variable
somewhere else, for example:

MyExtension.foo = "bar"

Then I can access it in both contexts, but as I mentioned I am porting
over an existing extension, and would like to keep the code as
consistent as possible. Additionally, if I console.log(document) in
both of these contexts, I get slightly different output. From the
click event I get a "Document" while the other context gives me an
"HTMLDocument"... They are both referring to the same doc (at least
document.title is the same for both). This further leads me to believe
the context is different somehow.

Any ideas why I would be seeing this issue, and/or how I might get
around it and get a reference to the same document object in both
contexts?

Thanks!
