I tried to get the domain name using alert(document.domain);
But i\'m not getting the right domain when I test it out in a site,
I get \"hiecjmnbaldlmop
If you are in popup or background or options page, there is an indirect approach for obtaining domain of page.
You can refer to following code as a reference.
Registered content scripts, background and popup scripts with manifest file along with relevant permissions
{
"name": "Domain Name",
"description": "http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14796722/javascript-google-chrome-extension-getting-domain-name",
"version": "1",
"manifest_version": 2,
"content_scripts": [
{
"matches": [
"<all_urls>"
],
"js": [
"myscript.js"
]
}
],
"browser_action": {
"default_popup": "popup.html"
},
"background": {
"scripts": [
"background.js"
]
},
"permissions": [
"tabs",
"<all_urls>"
]
}
console.log(document.domain);// Outputs present active URL of tab
Registered popup.js
to surpass CSP.
<html>
<head>
<script src="popup.js"></script>
</head>
<body></body>
</html>
Added Event Listener for DOM Content Loaded
, and brought active URL of tab where user is on.
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function () {
console.log(document.domain);//It outputs id of extension to console
chrome.tabs.query({ //This method output active URL
"active": true,
"currentWindow": true,
"status": "complete",
"windowType": "normal"
}, function (tabs) {
for (tab in tabs) {
console.log(tabs[tab].url);
}
});
});
console.log(document.domain); //It outputs id of extension to console
chrome.tabs.query({ //This method output active URL
"active": true,
"currentWindow": true,
"status": "complete",
"windowType": "normal"
}, function (tabs) {
for (tab in tabs) {
console.log(tabs[tab].url);
}
});
You will find
fgbhocadghoeonlokakijhnlplgkolbg
as output for console.log(document.domain); in all extension pages and
and
http://somedomain.com/
for tabs.query()
output.
However, Content script output is always
http://somedomain.com/
