Maybe try to execute something like that -
inject.js -
var GMonkey;
if (gmonkey)
{
gmonkey.init("undefined",function (api) { GMonkey = api });
// Find out the ID of the object you
// want using GMonkey, reference here -
// http://code.google.com/p/gmail-greasemonkey/wiki/GmailGreasemonkey10API
// element = gmail.getNavPaneElement();
//
// Find the actual ID or class name, or whatever
// identifier that can help you later track it down
// again, using this example -
//
// elementIdentifier = element.id;
// elementIdentifierType = "ID";
// Or
// elementIdentifier = element.className;
// elementIdentifierType = "className";
// Or however you choose.
hiddenSpan = document.createElement("HIDDENSPAN");
hiddenSpan.id = "hidden-span";
hiddenSpan.style.display = "none";
hiddenSpan.innerText = elementIdentifier;
hiddenSpan.setAttribute("type",elementIdentifierType);
document.body.appendChild(hiddenSpan);
}
Then in the content script JavaScript file -
script = document.createElement("script");
script.src = chrome.extensions.getUrl("inject.js");
script.onload = doStuff;
document.body.appendChild(script);
var requestedElement
function doStuff()
{
element = document.getElementById("hidden-span")
if (element.getAttribute("type") == "ID")
requestedElement = document.getElementById(element.innerText);
else
requestedElement = document.getElementsByClassName(element.innerText);
}
Does it work?
