I am creating a Google Chrome extension for generating passwords. It is working in an HTML page but on extension it won't output the password in text field. working HTML Page, non working Extension
Does Google chrome extensions work differently then HTML? Do I need something special in manifest.JSON?
popup.html is below
<html>
<head>
<title>Random Password Generator</title>
<style>
body {
font-family: "Segoe UI", "Lucida Grande", Tahoma, sans-serif;
font-size: 100%;
}
#status {
/* avoid an excessively wide status text */
white-space: pre;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
overflow: hidden;
max-width: 1000px;
}
</style>

<script src="popup.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="status"></div>
<img id="image-result" hidden>
<form name="pgenerate">
<input type="text" size=18 name="output">
<input type="button" value="Generate Password" onClick="populateform(this.form.thelength.value)"><br />
<b> <font size="1"> Password Length: </font> </b> <input type="text" name="thelength" size=3 value="12">
</form>
</body>
</html>
popup.js is below
var keylist="ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890!@#$%^&*().?/`~"
var temp=''
function generatepass(plength){
temp=''
for (i=0;i<plength;i++)
temp+=keylist.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random()*keylist.length))
return temp
}
function populateform(enterlength){
document.pgenerate.output.value=generatepass(enterlength)
}
And finally my manifest.
