Question

I have a popup named mf_popup.html and my background page is named mf_background.html.

As I start the browser my background page fires (as is my understanding, I am new to Chrome development), and I would like to call a function in my mf_popup.html page from my background page.

For example:

Start chrome

background page fires

background page calls some function in popup page (which initiates some stuff)

How do I do the above?

Answer 1

if you place the needed code in both html-files in mf_javascript.js and includes the script in both with this line:

<script type="text/javascript" src="mf_javascript.js">
