Can I inject a CSS file programmatically using a content script js file?
It is possible for me to inject the css when the js file is linked to my popup.html. The problem is I have to click on the button to open the popup to inject the css. I want it to happen automatically and in the background.
What happens in my code...
- Get a variable from a MySQL database through a XMLHttpRequest
- Call the function, "processdata()"
- "processdata" Will process the data from the XMLHttpRequest. More specifically, split the variable, put it into 2 different variables and make them global
- I call the function, "click()"
- "click" Then will set the css after 1250 milliseconds using setTimeout
- I use chrome.tabs.insertCSS to insert the css. The css name is the variable, "currenttheme"
As I mentioned before it does work using the popup. But the popup has to be opened before the CSS gets injected.
How do I make this all happen automatically, without any user interaction?
Here is my code:
function getData() {
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else
{// code for IE6, IE5
xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
{
if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
{
user_data = xmlhttp.responseText;
window.user_data = user_data;
processdata();
}
}
xmlhttp.open("GET","http://localhost:8888/g_dta.php",true);
xmlhttp.send();
}
getData();
function processdata() {
var downdata = user_data.split('|||||');
var installedthemes = downdata[0];
var currenttheme = downdata[1].toString();
window.currenttheme = currenttheme;
click();
}
function click(e) {
function setCSS() {
chrome.tabs.insertCSS(null, {file:currenttheme + ".css"});
}
setTimeout(function(){setCSS()}, 1250);
document.getElementById('iFrameLocation').innerHTML = "<iframe src='http://localhost:8888/wr_dta.php?newid="+e.target.id+"'></iframe>";
getData();
}
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
var divs = document.querySelectorAll('div');
for (var i = 0; i < divs.length; i++) {
divs[i].addEventListener('click', click);
}
});
