在特定的Google Chrome选项卡上执行javascript

Question

I'm running this javascript to click a link through my Chrome browser

document.getElementById('extractResults').click();

It's clicking fine, until I navigate away from the browser tab or window. Any insights into how to execute the action even after I've navigated away from the tab?

Thanks!

I guess it depends on how you're "running this javascript"... are you using setInterval() or something similar?

You might do a google search for "javascript background tabs" -- there are a lot of related issues (such as this and this ) and the bottom line seems to be that modern browsers are saving CPU (etc) by not running everything when in the background.
