The current version of my chrome extension extracts a set of strings from the current tab, opens a new tabs with a specific url and proceeds to insert the strings and submit the form using jQuery. The problem that I have is if I open a separate tab afterwards and go to the URL with the form, it proceeds to insert the data again and submit the form. It will do this continuously, so I can never use the website outside of automating it with the chrome extension.
This is the function in the background.js that sends the strings.
chrome.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(function (tab) { //Fired when User Clicks ICON if(zip){ zipCode = zip; zip = null; }else{ zipCode = prompt('Zip code'); } if(/^\d{5}(-\d{4})?$/.test(zipCode)){ var newURL = "https://www.medicare.gov/find-a-plan/questions/home.aspx?search"; chrome.tabs.create({ url: newURL }); chrome.tabs.onUpdated.addListener(function (tabId, changeInfo, tab) { id = "2136760320"; if (changeInfo.status == 'complete') { chrome.tabs.query({active: true, currentWindow: true}, function(tabs){ chrome.tabs.sendMessage(tabId, {zip: zipCode, pass: pwd, drugID: id}, function(response) {}); }); } }); } }); This is the content Script that matches the URL and is inserted along with jquery. I would need this to only run if the chrome extension was the one that opened the page.
var pwd = ""; var id = ""; var onMessageHandler = function(message, sender, sendResponse){ pwd = message.pass; id = message.drugID; $("#saveWorkID").val(id); var date = pwd.split("/"); var month = date[0]; if (month.length < 2) month = "0" + month; var day = date[1]; var year = date[2]; $("#month").val(month); $("#day").val(day); $("#year").val(year); $("#lnkFind span").trigger("click"); } chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener(onMessageHandler); There are two other content scripts running for the pages prior to the above page, but not sure if they are necessary.
This is the manigest.json
{ "manifest_version": 2, "name": "PDP Lookup", "description": "Lookup the PDP druglist of a current user", "version": "1.0", "icons": {"48": "icon.png", "128": "icon128.png" }, "browser_action": { "default_icon": "icon.png" }, "background":{ "scripts": [ "jquery.js", "background.js" ] }, "content_scripts": [ { "matches": [ "https://www.medicare.gov/find-a-plan/questions/home.aspx?search" ], "js": [ "jquery.js", "stage1.js" ] }, { "matches": [ "https://www.medicare.gov/find-a-plan/questions/enter-your-information.aspx" ], "js": [ "jquery.js", "stage2.js" ] }, { "matches": [ "https://XXX.XXX.XXX/XX*" ], "js": [ "jquery.js", "search.js" ] }, { "matches": [ "https://plancompare.medicare.gov/pfdn/PlanFinder/DrugSearch" ], "js": [ "jquery.js", "stage3.js" ] } ], "permissions": [ "tabs", "https://*/*", "http://*/*" ] } Any help on how to prevent the content script from trying to read the sent message would be appreciated.
