Open chrome:downloads window /w button click.

**dre__** · 08-26-2009, 04:22 AM

I'm trying to make a button that opens the chrome's download window.

I have the Hello World example addon.

This is the code I have so far:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=http://www.google.com">
</html>

When I click the button, google opens. But, when I replace the url with "chrome:downloads", a blank page opens.

What am I doing wrong?

You can't open chrome:// pages from a normal page.

Is there another way to do this, while still clicking a button?

Maybe by using the Chrome API. See create.
