Menu
I have a simple javascript form in a chrome extension popup. When clicking the extension icon, the user fills the form and clicks "go!", which should open a new tab - the URL for this new tab will be determined according to values in the form.
Currently the popup shows fine and the form values are populated fine. How do I open the tab when the user clicks the button?
(I am pretty new with javascript and the documentation confused the hell out of me :| )
manifest.json:
{
"name": "My Helper",
"version": "1.0",
"description": "My Helper",
"background_page" : "background.html",
"browser_action": {
"default_icon": "icon.png",
"popup": "popup.html"
},
"permissions":
["tabs"]
}
popup.html:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
// some functions...
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="frmOne">
// input fields
<button type="button" onclick="buildTheUrl(..input values..)">Go!</button>
</form>
</body>
</html>
background.html is currently empty.
