contentscript.js
function createIDArray() { var IDArray = []; IDArray[0] = $('#u_4_0 > span > div').html(); return IDArray; } chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener( function(request, sender, sendResponse) { console.log("This is being received from popup.js"); if (request.greeting == "hello") console.log(createIDArray()); sendResponse({farewell: "goodbye"}); return true; }); popup.js
$('#9610').click ( function() { chrome.tabs.query({active: true, currentWindow: true}, function(tabs) { chrome.tabs.sendMessage(tabs[0].id, {greeting: "This is data."}, function(response) { console.log(response.farewell); }); }); } ); Not receiving any response between the two scripts. My end goal here is going to be upon clicking a button in the popup, activate a function in the content script.
