I am also new to Chrome extensions, but I have a Firefox script that
uses gmonkey and I would like to port it to Chrome.
I was skeptical that a content script would be able to use the gmonkey
object, since the Chrome extension docs state that content scripts
cannot use variables or functions defined by web pages. Nonetheless,
with nothing to lose, I tried a short content script to look for the
gmonkey object. When I do that, an error is thrown:
Uncaught ReferenceError: gmonkey is not defined
For what it's worth, I also tried accessing "window.gmonkey". That
doesn't throw an error, but the value is undefined for Gmail pages (as
well as other pages).
My conclusion is that gmonkey is not available to Chrome extensions,
unless the Chrome developers provide some special way to access it. Am
I missing something here?
