    <p>I'm working on a chrome extensions whose purpose is to add a "export to gdocs" link to each attachment in gmail.</p> <p>I've already implemented part of the code which successfully adds the link next to the "download" link, but I'm facing with a problem I don't know how to solve.</p> <p>The problem is: <strong>in a mail thread (with several replies), collapsed mails aren't affected by my script - and when they are expanded, the link is (as expected) not added</strong>.</p> <p>The reason why that occurs is that collapsed mails are loaded at runtime when expanded - so when my script is executed on page load there's no link to add as the mail content hasn't been loaded yet.</p> <p>I tried adding an update handler using the prototype framework and the sample code I found here:</p> <p><a href="http://groups.google.com/group/prototype-scriptaculous/browse_thread/thread/5ad539212ea07716?pli=1" rel="nofollow">http://groups.google.com/group/prototype-scriptaculous/browse_thread/thread/5ad539212ea07716?pli=1</a> (last post)</p> <p><a href="http://jsbin.com/utuvu" rel="nofollow">http://jsbin.com/utuvu</a></p> <p>but it doesn't work - although the solution itself is valid and working out of gmail.</p> <p>The partially working solution is implemented using a chrome.tabs onUpdate listener (registered in the background file), and some jquery (injected as content script) which:</p> <p>selects tables having the "cr hf" css classes (which are the ones used to contain the attachment links)</p> <pre><code>$('table.cf.hr').each(function() { injectLink($(this)); }); </code></pre> <p>for each one, looks up the download link, extracts some parameters from the download url, create a new link and adds next to the last link</p> <pre><code>function injectLink(table) { var downloadLink = table.find("td:last a:last"); var exportToGdocsLink = downloadLink.clone().attr(...)... ... downloadLink.after(exportToGdocsLink).after("&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;"); } </code></pre> <p>Has anybody implemented chrome extensions interacting with gmail? Any hint for me to figure out how to proceed?</p> <p><strong>UPDATE</strong></p> <p>The latest version of the code is this: </p> <pre><code>$('#canvas_frame').ready(function() { var doc = frames['canvas_frame'].contentDocument; $(doc).find('table.cf.hr').livequery(function() { injectLink($(this)); }); }); </code></pre> <p>but I've tried several "combinations" - this is the "closest to what expected" result. The <code>canvas_frame</code> is the iframe containing the entire gmail interface. The table having css classes <code>cr hf</code> contains the attachment links.</p> <p>Thanks Antonio</p>

    1. COWouldn't jquery's `.live()` be able to solve it?

    2. CONever used that... but I wonder how it could help me - as far as I know there's no "update content" event. Any idea about what kind of event I should register using live()?

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.
