Hey Pedro et al, thanks for the emails back. You can see the code I've used here. http://pastebin.com/fSucGCr9
I've started working on this plugin and am running into some trouble. The API shows calling an external js file in the background.html so I created contextmenu.js. I've got the Firebug Lite item showing up in the context menu. I have tried to send a message onclick to both the content script and background pages but neither seem to work. I've put a test alert and it never shows up. I also am not really sure how to listen for a context menu click. I could only find api functions to create delete and update. This is my first go at a chrome extension so any feedback or pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for giving me the chance to help contribute back. I'm not sure what I'd do without Firebug, and Firebug Lite really makes it possible to develop in Chrome. R.
