I am in need to a show 2 pop ups on 2 different situation.Presently I am checking a server file and storing its credentials in a localStorage.Each time when the user clicks on the extension,it should check if the localStorage is empty or not.If it is empty,then a pop up should be seen and asks for his username.this is stored in localstorage.Next time when the user clicks on the icon,the localstorage is not empty,so it should show another pop up showind a field for username with 2 buttons namely 'change settings' and 'go to website'.When the user clicks on change settings,again the popup shuuld appear asking user name.If he clicks go to website,it should navigate to a website.How can this be done?please help me.I have tried button the button is not working.And also the 2nd pop up is always shown only on reloading the extension.Please help me.

First of all, the localStorage of the background-page and that of the popup are
notthe same objects.Besides, each time the popup is shown, it is loaded anew, thus the localStorage is empty.UPDATE: Thx to rsanchez's comment, I correct my mistake: the popup shares the localStorage object of the extension (which is the same as the one of the background-page).
You should use the localStorage of the background-page. (Keep in mind this works only because you have a persistent background-page !)
The simplest (and most reliable) way is to have a single popup with two different divs (one for entering credentials and one for logging in) and display only one at a time.
E.g.:
1) Remove any
chrome.browserAction.onClicked...
listener from the background-page (it won't hurt leaving it there as it will never be triggered, but it will confuse you in the future).2) Declare a popup in your manifest (if you don't have already done do):
3). Create a file named
popup.html
with the following code:4) Create a file named
popup.js
with the following code:
