The Chrome extension popup is not working, click events are not handled

Question

I have created a JavaScript variable and when I click on the button it should increment by 1, but its not happening.

Here\'s manifest.json.

Answer 1

Change your onclick:

onclick="count"

Or change your count function to something like this:

function count()
{

    var demo = document.getElementById("demo");
    return function() {
        demo.innerHTML = ++a;
    }

}

Here is a nice demo I put together:

Code (this assumes that you add id="the_button" to your button):

window.onload = function () {
    var button = document.getElementById("the_button");
    button.onclick = count();

    function count() {
        var a = 0;
        var demo = document.getElementById("demo");
        return function () {
            demo.innerHTML = ++a;
        }
    }
}
