I need to build a chrome extension that manipulates dom I am following some tutorial and now I have this manifest.json:
{
"manifest_version": 2,
"name": "Getting started example",
"description": "This extension shows a Google Image search result for the current page",
"version": "1.0",
"browser_action": {
"default_icon": "icon.png",
"default_popup": "popup.html"
},
"permissions": [
"activeTab",
"https://ajax.googleapis.com/"
]
}
This is my popup.html:
<!doctype html>
<!--
This page is shown when the extension button is clicked, because the
"browser_action" field in manifest.json contains the "default_popup" key with
value "popup.html".
-->
<html>
<head>
<title>Getting Started Extension's Popup</title>
<style>
body {
font-family: "Segoe UI", "Lucida Grande", Tahoma, sans-serif;
font-size: 100%;
}
#status {
/* avoid an excessively wide status text */
white-space: pre;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
overflow: hidden;
max-width: 400px;
}
</style>

<script src="popup.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">console.log('attempt #0 to console log something');</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="status"></div>
<img id="image-result" hidden>
</body>
</html>
And this is my popup.js:
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
console.log('attempt #3');
});
chrome.tabs.onUpdated.addListener(
function ( tabId, changeInfo, tab )
{
if ( changeInfo.status === "complete" )
{
chrome.tabs.executeScript({ code: "console.log('attempt #4');" }, function() {
console.log("console.log(attempt #5)");
});
}
});
As you can see I tried various ways to console log something after page loaded but none of them work what do I do?
So I think that the simple solution is just to create a content script and there to wait until the page is load :
manifest.json
content.js
You could also use with message passing between background.js and your content page and to check that tab is loaded but for your case I think it's enough.
This is how I do:
manifest.json
background.js
