Question

I am using createHTMLNotification for a chrome extension. The html for the notification includes a link in it. What im trying to figure out is how to close the notification when the link is clicked. My code is following

var notification = window.webkitNotifications.createHTMLNotification(
    "notification.html"
);
notification.show();

The code on the notification.html page fills in the data. This page includes the jquery library. When I try to do:

$('#title > a').click(function() {
    notification.cancel();
}

This of course does not work because notification is unknown on this html page. I have also tried to do a notification.onshow during the first part of the code where i create the notification, but this as well produced no results.

Well I figured it out. It was actually a pretty simple fix. All you have to do is in the click event for the href in the notification, add window.close(). This is because according to W3C specification it is a separate window so you can treat it as such
