  1. POReplace entire DIV with a custom DIV using JQuery in a Chrome extension
    text
    copied!<p>I'm building an extension in Chrome for an internal tool we use. We have had this tool for a few years and the navigation menu has never worked in Chrome. The developers refuse to fix it. So part of what I am attempting to do with my extension is to replace the menu with a functioning menu.</p> <p>Currently the menu is wrapped in a DIV. I want to replace that entire DIV with a new DIV with a working menu. At first I thought it would easy enough to use JQuery's replaceWith() function but replaceWith() only seems to work on single pieces of code. I was able to easily replace the entire Menu with a single element. Then I came across .load() but I was not able to successfully get the .html file in the extension folder to actually load.</p> <p>I shortened this menu but it is an example of the current DIV:</p> <pre><code>&lt;div id="ctl00_MasterMenu" class="MenuStyle ctl00_MasterMenu_5" style="height:20px;"&gt; &lt;span class="MenuItemStyle ctl00_MasterMenu_4"&gt; &lt;a class="ctl00_MasterMenu_1 MenuItemStyle ctl00_MasterMenu_3" href="default.aspx" style="border-style:none;font-size:1em;"&gt;Home&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="MenuItemStyle ctl00_MasterMenu_4"&gt; &lt;a class="ctl00_MasterMenu_1 MenuItemStyle ctl00_MasterMenu_3" href="javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$MasterMenu','o6')" style="border-style:none;font-size:1em;"&gt;New Ticket Expand New Ticket&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>And I basically want to replace it with something like:</p> <pre><code>&lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Home&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;New Item&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;New Item2&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; </code></pre>
