    <p>In one of the background files of my chrome extension I'm checking for cookies and ran into a problem. In my function <code>chrome.cookies.get({"url": domain, "name": name},function(cookie) {});</code> I am able to get the cookie object and pass it into the last parameter (an anonymous function) as the variable <em>cookie</em> and access it's value with <em>cookie.value</em>.</p> <p>The problem is that I am only able to send a return response from the parent function and not the nested anonymous function from within the <code>chrome.cookies.get</code> call.</p> <p>In my example below I am able to return a response (verified with an alert on another page) with <strong>value1</strong> but <strong>value2</strong> is never being returned... After doing a lot of reading I think I narrowed down the problem to a scoping error... By that I mean my response call <strong>sendResponse</strong> (a parameter in the parent function) is not being accessed by the nested anonymous function.</p> <pre><code>function getCookies(request, sender, sendResponse, domain, name) { chrome.cookies.get({"url": domain, "name": name}, function(cookie) { sendResponse({"myvar":"value2"}); //DOES NOT WORK if(cookie){ anotherFunction(cookie.value); }else{ anotherFunction("0"); } }); sendResponse({"myvar":"value1"}); // WORKS } </code></pre> <p>So basically, I just need to figure out some method to push my <strong>sendResponse</strong> parameter down to the anonymous function; or re-create a similar method that would not cause this scoping issue. Any assistance or guidance with this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time.</p>

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.
