如何从chrome扩展程序中打开标签页，等待用户输入并返回扩展程序？

Question

I'm working on a chrome extension and I have a script that opens a new tab for the user to do something. How can I can get a response from it, but only after the user clicks a button on that new tab, for instance?

Any ideas?

I use chrome.tabs.create to open a new tab, but I guess the callback wont work the way I want it to, right?

You can create a content script that'll work only on the desired webpage (where your users log in). Once you identify the login has been completed (by the page's URL, or by some DOM elements), you can send a message back from the content script to the extension's background process (using sendRequest ), and have it do any further necessary action.
