I am writing a chrome extension that dynamically writes some html pages and their resources to the file system. I have most things working but I just noticed that when I try to open one of the pages by navigating to the filesystem:chrome-extension://... url that I obtain via the fileentry.getURL() method, the page opens, but chrome does not fetch any of the associated resources: stylesheets, images etc. Any ideas why this might be? Are there some security flags I need to get this working? I am i going about this all wrong?
(One thing that may be relevant is that the resources are identified by relative urls. But I know they are correct relative to the file because if i manually resolve them and browse to the URLs I can fetch them.)
The page you include that uses the relative URLs doesn’t understand the HTML5 filesystem’s mapping. If you change the URLs to point to what the fileentry.getURL() calls give you, then this should work.
There’s currently a bug that allows relative URLs in resources to be used like you’re trying to do: http://crbug.com/89271
