i would like to know if this is possible to do the same thing with a toolstrip than you can you with a content script

i tryed that in my toolstrip onclick (wich is the demo for the content script ) but it doesnt work:

Code:

document.images[0].src = "http://bit.ly/1293Af";
document.images[0].style.height = "auto";

so i would like to know if it is possible to do that kind of thing ( modify the current page ) with a tool strip!!! thank you.

The toolstrip is a document in itself and by trying to modify the document you try to modify the toolstrip. If you had an image in the toolstrip that would've worked.

To modify the open page you need to use a content script, but you can communicate between content scripts and toolstrips and thereby making it do what you want, usually.

For example I use checkboxes and submits in the toolstrip to control how/if different content scripts execute.
