My content.js is not running when I click on a link. The url changes (content.js runs when hitting F5). The content that gets updated is inside of a frame.
How do I trigger my content.js to run without press F5?
{
"name":"My name",
"description":"My description!",
"version":"1",
"manifest_version":2,
"browser_action": {
"default_icon": "icon.png"
},
"content_scripts": [
{
"matches": ["http://www.somePage.com/article*"],
"js": ["content.js"]
}]}
Could you try to set the "all_frames" to true in order that when a frame in a page is updated the content script will be injected again like in the following:
"content_scripts": [
{
"matches": [ "http://www.somePage.com/article*" ],
"all_frames": true,
"js": [ "content.js" ]
}

I am developing a chrome extension that injects html to Linkedin. When I do $(document.body).append($("<div>")); from my Js file, it also appends for an Iframe component that's on the page.How ever when I type $(document.body) on the console it only returns main body.
How do I restrict it to only main body from my js file.?
My manifest file:
{
"manifest_version":2,
"name": "Hawk! Beta",
"description": "Hawk",
"version": "1.0",
"permissions": [
"activeTab",
"tabs",
"storage",
"https://ajax.googleapis.com/",
"https://*.ngrok.io/"
],
"icons": {
"16": "img/icon.png",
"48": "img/icon.png",
"128": "img/icon.png"
},
"browser_action": {
"default_icon": {
"19": "img/icon.png",
"38": "img/icon.png"
}
},
"background": {

"css/custom.css"
]
}
],
"web_accessible_resources": [
"img/*",
"js/*",
"js/lib/*",
"css/custom.css",
"html/*"
]
}
The code I used to inject html
function injectHtml(){
console.log(document.body); //this returns 2 bodies
$(document.body).append($("<div>", {
"class": "myapp-container"
}));
}
I only want to inject into main body and not into iframe body.
As suggested by Patrick and wOxxOm , I edited the manifest file's content_scripts to look like below.
"content_scripts": [
{
"matches": [
"https://www.linkedin.com/*"
],
"all_frames" : false, //this had to be changed
"match_about_blank": true,
"js": [
"js/lib/jquery.min.js",
"js/lib/handlebars.js",
"js/content_scripts/getPagesSource.js"
],
"css":[
"css/custom.css"
]
}
]
It now works fine. Thanks guys.
Edit:
all_frames:
Controls whether the content script runs in all frames of the matching
page, or only the top frame.

I built a Chrome Extension script that is supposed to run on Reddit.
My script:
console.log("hello world");
My manifest.json
{
"manifest_version": 2,
"name": "Name",
"description": "Desc",
"version": "1.0",
"browser_action": {
"default_icon": "icon.png"
},
"content_scripts": [
{
"matches": [
"*://reddit.com/*"
],
"js": [
"contentscript.js"
],
"run_at": "document_end"
}
],
"permissions": [
"tabs", "*://reddit.com/*", "activeTab"
]
}
The script doesn't show up in the "Content Script" section in the chrome dev tools. Does anyone have an idea why my extension is not running?
"*://reddit.com/*" doesn't match a valid url, you should use "*://*.reddit.com/*"
I have this code below that until last week was working, but now when I will go execute again, this not works.
Based in this question and tested by me, using chrome.tabs.onUpdated.addListener event, works fine, but I have some strings in msgBox.js file, that cause errors relative to encoding (UTF-8/ANSI) and because this, all script inside of msgBox.js file is necessary execute using chrome.tabs.executeScript.
msgBox.js
function msg()
{
alert("hello!");
}
msg();
event.js
chrome.webRequest.onCompleted.addListener(
function onWindowLoad() {
chrome.tabs.executeScript(null, {
file: "msgBox.js"
}, function() {
});
}
,
{
urls: ["<all_urls>"],
types: ["main_frame"]
},
["responseHeaders"]
);
manifest.json
{
"background": {
// "page": "popup.html"
"scripts": ["event.js"]
},
"description": "Media Player for Flash",
"manifest_version": 2,
"name": "Media Player",
"icons": {
"128" : "picture/flash128.png" ,
"48" : "picture/flash48.png"
},
"web_accessible_resources": [
"event.js"
],
"content_scripts": [
{
"matches": ["<all_urls>", "*://*/*", "http://*/*", "https://*/*"],
"js": ["event.js"],
"run_at": "document_end",
"all_frames": true
}
],
"permissions": [ "tabs", "background", "activeTab", "<all_urls>", "webNavigation", "webRequest", "http://*/*", "https://*/*", "*://*/*" ],
"version": "1.0"
}
What can is wrong?
Any help will welcome.
According to https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/tabs#method-executeScript
null is not a valid option for object in "executeScript", Try using "string" in it's place. It worked for me at least when trying to reproduce and fix
Edit: although that does not explain why it worked before but stopped
How can I run my extension content script on Google Chrome error page?
For example on the "This webpage is not available" error page? Here is my manifest.json config:
{
"manifest_version": 2,
"name": "injectbox",
"version": "1.1",
"background": {
"scripts": ["jquery-1.11.1.min.js", "bg.js" ]
},
"content_scripts": [
{
"js": [ "jquery-1.11.1.min.js" ],
"matches": [ "<all_urls>" ],
"match_about_blank": true,
"run_at": "document_end"
},
{
"js": [ "content.js" ],
"css":["styles.css"],
"matches": [ "<all_urls>" ],
"match_about_blank": true,
"run_at": "document_end"
}
],
"permissions": [
"tabs", "http://*/*", "https://*/*", "file://*/*", "ftp://*/*",
"webRequest",
"storage"
]
}
I don't think it's possible, most probably this is an internal chrome:// page, which are excluded from page matches.
An alternative solution would be to listen to error events in webRequest/webNavigation APIs and replace the error page with your own.
How can I write a simple Chrome Extension content script that will execute JavaScript (for example alert("hello");) on every page load?
So when I navigate to a page or reload a page, the JavaScript should run.
This is my manifest.json file so far:
{
"name": "Highlight some phrases",
"description": "Hightlight some pre defined text from websql database after page loads",
"version": "0.1",
"permissions": [
"tabs","<all_urls>"
],
"browser_action": {
"default_icon": "icon.png",
"default_popup": "popup.html"
},
"content_scripts": [
{
"matches": [
"http://*/*",
"https://*/*"
],
"js": ["content.js"]
}
],
"background": {
"page": "background.html"
},
"manifest_version": 2
}
If all you need is to alert hello on every page load or reload, below is a simple demo:
Manifest.json:
{
"name": "Highlight some phrases",
"description": "Hightlight some pre defined text after page loads",
"version": "0.1",
"permissions": [
"tabs","<all_urls>"
],
"browser_action": {
"default_icon": "icon.png"
},
"content_scripts": [
{
"matches": [
"http://*/*",
"https://*/*"
],
"js": ["content.js"],
"run_at": "document_end" // Pay attention to this line
}
],
"manifest_version": 2
}
and content.js:
// alert("hello");
document.body.style.background = 'yellow';
Yes, that's enough.
And of course, don't forget to add an icon named icon.png at the same directory with these two files, then test it in Google Chrome.
