onclick or inline script isn't working in extension

Question

This seems to be the easiest thing to do, but it\'s just not working. In a normal browser the .html and .js files works perfectly, but in the Chrome/Firefox extension the

I had the same problem, and didn´t want to rewrite the code, so I wrote a function to modify the code and create the inline declarated events:

function compile(qSel){
    var matches = [];
    var match = null;
    var c = 0;

    var html = $(qSel).html();
    var pattern = /(<(.*?)on([a-zA-Z]+)\s*=\s*('|")(.*)('|")(.*?))(>)/mg;

    while (match = pattern.exec(html)) {
        var arr = [];
        for (i in match) {
            if (!isNaN(i)) {
                arr.push(match[i]);
            }
        }
        matches.push(arr);
    }
    var items_with_events = [];
    var compiledHtml = html;

    for ( var i in matches ){
        var item_with_event = {
            custom_id : "my_app_identifier_"+i,
            code : matches[i][5],
            on : matches[i][3],
        };
        items_with_events.push(item_with_event);
        compiledHtml = compiledHtml.replace(/(<(.*?)on([a-zA-Z]+)\s*=\s*('|")(.*)('|")(.*?))(>)/m, "<$2 custom_id='"+item_with_event.custom_id+"' $7 $8");
    }

    $(qSel).html(compiledHtml);

    for ( var i in items_with_events ){
        $("[custom_id='"+items_with_events[i].custom_id+"']").bind(items_with_events[i].on, function(){
            eval(items_with_events[i].code);
        });
    }
}

$(document).ready(function(){
    compile('#content');
})

This should remove all inline events from the selected node, and recreate them with jquery instead.
