I know there are many similar questions on SO, but I cannot seem to get it working.

I am trying to get the URL of the current tab from my Chrome extension. Hoewever, the alert(tab.url) returns “Undefined”. I have added the “tabs” to my permissions in the manifest.json. Any ideas?

<html>
<head>
<script>

    chrome.tabs.getSelected(null, function(tab) {
        tab = tab.id;
        tabUrl = tab.url;

        alert(tab.url);
    });

</script>
</head>

    The problem is in this line:

    tab = tab.id;
    

    It should be something like:

    var tabId = tab.id;
