    <p>I am building my first chrome extension for our website. Not too fancy, i just need to see if user is logged in and if so i would send an ajax request and grab some user data from server and show it in extension popup. At the moment i think, i should check the presence of auth cookie to make sure that user is logged in. I want to, is it a good idea to check the presence of auth cookie for this purpose or should i be taking some other path? This is the code i use to check if user is logged in </p> <pre><code>isLoggedIn: function () { var cookie = document.cookie(this.cookieName); if (console) console.log(cookie); if (cookie) { return true; } return false; }, </code></pre> <p>I know i can't access cookies right away from background process and i have to pass cookie info from content script to background process but i think it explains the idea. Any suggestions?<br> <strong>Edit:</strong> I have read <a href="http://ttcremers.blogspot.com/2010/01/accessing-site-cookies-from-chrome.html" rel="nofollow">this article</a> to send cookie data from content script to popup.js which is in "default_popup" setting in manifest.json file. but i can't seem to pass cookie data back to popup.html and js files referenced there. How can i make it work? Here is my manifest.json file</p> <pre><code>{ "name": "Camba TV - Visual Security Made Simple", "version": "1.0", "description": "My Cameras on Camba.tv", "icons": { "48": "icon48.png", "128": "icon128.png" }, "browser_action": { "default_icon": "icon.png", "default_popup": "popup.html" }, "content_scripts": [ { "matches": ["http://*/*", "https://*/*"], "js": ["Cookies.js"] } ], "permissions": [ "http://localhost:50477/", "tabs", "http://*/*", "https://*/*", "cookies" ] } </code></pre>

    1. COSome issues: The `cookies` permission is needed if you want to use the `chrome.cookies.*` API, which you don't. So, that's obsolete. Possible issue: `http://localhost:50477/` only matches `/`, and not `/index.html`, for example. Is this intended? Now it doesn't matter, since you're running the code in all domains using `http://*/*`. Your current question is missing important details: 1) Can you paste the relevant part of your extension's code? 2) Can you provide a demo page (link?), where the extension can be tested?

    2. COthanks Rob W for ur response. My implementation has changed a lot since i posted the question. Now my interest here is that if i can find some tutorial that walks me through creating a useful chrome extension. I am fed up of this `Hello World` walk through.

    3. COCoding is easy. The hardest part is the creative part: What useful extension do you need? When you've got an idea, implement it with aid of the [Documentation](http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/devguide.html) (and Stack overflow (*not* gimmecodeplz, but a specific question)).

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
