I've played around with this a little. I found that I could create a database from the content script or the background script but they were mutually inaccessible, and the popup script could access neither - I wrongly assumed that the popup script would be able to share more with the background script than seems to be the case. At present my app uses messages from the content script to the background script and vice-versa because I plan to use (background-only) cross-site scripting to store/retrieve information on a central server (possibly a google app). I would like the content script to provide summary information and maintenance functions ( delete old information - how big can a database be?).
My (buggy) extension uses a database to cache comments and postings on a certain blog on which comments and posts frequently disappear without explanation; It tries to restore and hilite disappeared comments (and, in the future, whole posts). I plan to extend it to allow the deletions to be shared with other users. The source is available via a general intro here: http://www.antievolution.org/cgi-bin/ikonboard/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=14;t=6551. I haven't added it to the google repository because it may be seen as a little bit "mean-spirited" there. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Chromium-extensions" group.
