Question

I have no clue what I’m doing wrong here! This should be working I believe. I’m writing a chrome extension and this should get the current tab’s url and set the html of #current-tab to the url (for testing purposes). The code successfully gets to the callback, but it says that tab.url is undefined when I put it in an alert box, and it does not put it’s value in #current-tab. Here’s the code I have:

$('#get-tab').click(function(){
    chrome.tabs.query({"active" : true}, function(tab){
        for (var i = 0; i < tab.length; i++) {
            alert(tab[i].url);
            $('#current-tab').append(tab[i].url);
        };
    });
});

I figured out what was wrong! Apparently you need to reload the extension to refresh changes to the manifest file! I had added the permissions later, but had not reloaded the extensions in the extension manager, so the change had not taken effect! We’re rolling now!
