add button to page with chrome extension


is it possible to add simple button with onclick event to a page with chrome extension?

for instance if I am looking at

google.com

var google = document.getElementById("main");
    var button = document.createElement("button");
    var text = document.createTextNode("test");
    button.appendChild(text);
    google.appendChild(button);

I see my button in it?


Solution

  • You can use that code in a content script set to run on specific webpages.

    Content scripts are JavaScript files that run in the context of web pages. By using the standard Document Object Model (DOM), they can read details of the web pages the browser visits, or make changes to them.
