Show alert from Chrome Extension "options_ui" page

Question

Chrome Extensions have had a Version 2 of their options page since Chrome 40. I tried creating an options V2 page with a button that just has a simple alert:

js

function resetAll() {
  alert("Not yet implemented.");
}

document.getElementById("reset-button").onclick = resetAll;

html

<button id="reset-button">Reset All</button>

When I click the button in the options page, nothing happens. I even pulled up the Javascript Debugger to see if my code was actually being run. And it was, but no alert showed up.

If I use Chrome Extension's older options page format, the alert shows up without problem.

Is there no way to create a browser-native alert with OptionsV2?

Answer 1

chrome.extension.getBackgroundPage().alert('Are you sure you want to delete X?');
chrome.extension.getBackgroundPage().confirm('Are you sure you want to delete X?')
