I'm trying to move my extension from toolstrip to a browser action.

Everything is working fine, except the fact that when using browser actions I'm not able to actually refresh the popup (created automatically by the browser with HTML content) after a form submit.

It's like it's frozen.

I press the submit button, and it acts like void - nothing happens, page doesn't get refreshed.

Also, many accessibility resources are lost, i.e tab doesn't change form fields.

Is there any way to make the popup mode of browser actions, refresh after a form is submitted within it?

What I have is basically a form to change settings. After the users submit, it must be refreshed with the new settings chosen by them.

This is limitating a lot the function of my extension

Thanks

Just as a heads up, don't store your variables in the popup html as the values do not persist. Instead, store the variables in the background html and have the popup poll the background each time it is created(Whenever you click the action button)

In fact I'm using cookies to store the values.

So they are being saved already.

Problem is with browser actions, forms are kind of useless - well, the whole basics of a HTML are. Everything is static, useful only to display content ready, and not to interact with it (as was able with toolstrips).

Ok, I understand what you are trying to do sorta. Well for mine, I only need to submit 1 field, so its a bit easy:

Code:

In background.html:

var is_background = true;
function submit(param1){ ... }

Code:

In browseraction.html:

<script>
function background(){
	var v = chrome.self.getViews();
	for(var i in v){
		if(v[i].is_background){
			return v[i];
}	}	}

function getParam(){
	return document.getElementById('param1').value;
}
</script>

<div><input type="text" id="param1" /></div>
<div onClick="background().submit(getParam());">
Submit
</div>
