    <p>I have been working on a small Chrome extension with a problem I cant seem to get my head around and would appreciate someone to look at it with a fresh perspective.</p> <p>The goal is to create a chrome extension which enables you to select text on any given website and displays an option to send the selection to another website using a contextmenu item.</p> <p>My <strong>manifest.json</strong> looks like this:</p> <pre><code>{ "name": "Context Menu Search", "description": "Opens the selected text as keyword in a new window", "version": "0.1", "permissions": ["contextMenus"], "background_page": "background.html" } </code></pre> <p>Then <strong>background.html</strong>:</p> <pre><code>&lt;script src="rightclick.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p>And <strong>rightclick.js</strong>:</p> <pre><code>var selection_callbacks = []; function getSelection(callback) { selection_callbacks.push(callback); chrome.tabs.executeScript(null, { file:"selection.js" }); }; chrome.extension.onRequest.addListener(function (request) { var callback = selection_callbacks.shift(); callback(request); }); function sendSearch(selectedText) { var serviceCall = 'http://www.google.com/search?q=' + selectedText; chrome.tabs.create({url: serviceCall}); } var tx = getSelection(); var title = "Test '" + tx + "' menu item"; var id = chrome.contextMenus.create({"title": title, "contexts":[selection], "onclick": sendSearch(tx)}); console.log("selection item:" + id); </code></pre> <p>Plus <strong>selection.js</strong>:</p> <pre><code>chrome.extension.sendResponse(window.getSelection().toString()); </code></pre> <p>So far the context menu creation works fine, but the selected text is not displayed at all. If anyone has any suggestions on how to solve this problem as well as simplify the script, I would appreciate your input.</p> <p>Thank you very much.</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.
