I have modified the contents of the webpage. For eample, i have replaced all the occurance of particular text in the webpage to a hyperlink and this hyperlink has onClick javascript event
(for eg: xyz to <a href="#" onClick="ShowAlert()">xyz</a> ).
But when i click on the link ShowAlert function is not invoked. I have defined ShowAlert function in one of the content script files.

What could be the reason ? and what is the solution for this problem ?

Thank in advance
Rohit

Have you tried something simple to see if your problem is in the function or the replace mechanism for example just <a href="#" onClick="window.open('google.com')">xyz</a> just to see if it's working?

Its a security issue, look here......

Thanks for your response. "Window.open" works. The problem is, when i invoke external javascript functions.

Any suggestions appreciated.

To repeat myself, the answer to invoking external javascript functions is a security issue and the link I gave you has your answer.
