trying to call javascript

@richb201,

Are you trying to have your web app send a browser message?

Not really. I am trying to have the browser page send a message to the extension of the browser. There is some messaging facility in chrome. So I want the web page (which was built by the server), to make a call to the js which will send the message.

Or is that what you meant? I did ask a similar thing recently, but I am just trying to get the js to run on a page created by grocery crud or code igniter.

My overall plan is to call the aws javascript api from the extension. But I need to communicate some instructions from CI created browser page before I do that. People say that the Extension "runs in the context of the browser". I am not sure what that means, honestly, other than I can use some chrome runtime messaging feature (see the code above). But the only way I can communicate using the Chrome messaging app is to call a js function from my php created web page.

I guess the js needs to be embedded in the html but I don't know how to do that. Is the problem that I need to call register_extension() from the CI code? How does CI know I am calling a js function?
