Question

I’m trying to write a Chrome extension that can switch the spellcheck language. I’ve searched through the Chrome API’s and found the ChromeSetting object in the Types interface. However, I can’t find any information on how to use it – e.g. what are the options for the “details” object?

Am I heading down the right path here? If so, does nayone have some examples or extra info that will help me?

Thanks!

Unfortunately, while chrome.types exists, you can’t do anything with it.

We can run this code to see:

var c = chrome.types;
alert( Object.keys( c ).join(", ") );

Results:

[null]

This is despite the docs you linked to stating there are some methods available. My guess is it will be completed “someday” when Goog gets around to it.
