I am new to chrome extension. I have tried the first sample exercise for creating extension. Now I am trying to open an URL in a new tab from the extension popup. Just I have added a HTML anchor tag in the popup.html page. <pre><code>a href="www.google.com">Click</a> </code></pre> But its not opening. It is trying to open the URL with following url within the popup itself. chrome-extension://ljamgfaclheagbikmcagffcbdbcoodna/www.google.com My popup.html has this code. <pre><code><!doctype html> <html> <head> <title>Getting Started Extension's Popup</title> <style> </style>  </head> <body> Karthick <a href="www.google.com">Click</a> </body> </html> </code></pre> And My Manifest.json have the following JSON <pre><code>{ "name": "Test Extension", "version": "1.0", "manifest_version": 2, "description": "The first extension for my test", "browser_action": { "default_icon": "icon.png", "default_popup": "popup.html" }, "permissions": [ "tabs" ] } </code></pre> I dont have written anything in popup.js I searched for it how to do it. But they said that I have to use the following. <pre><code>chrome.tabs.getSelected({}, function(tab) { chrome.tabs.update(tab.id, {url: 'http://google.com'}); }); </code></pre> But I don't know the proper way/where to do it. Please tell me the steps to do it. Thanks in advance.

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.
