Question

I am trying to extract the source code of an external website to create a chrome extension.

in the popup.html

   <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js"> </script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function()
{
    $.get("http://www.espncricinfo.com/",function(data){
        $('body').text(data);
        });
        });

This is to extract the html source code. I added the website in my permissions tag in the manifest file. But there is no output coming. Could any one let me know where I am going wrong

Answer 1

Don’t use build-in script in popup.html, instead you have to use external js file(s), see Content Security Policy.

Something like this:

<script src="jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="popup.js"></script>

If it doesn’t work still, you should copy your manifest file here.
