Detecting clicks with a Chrome Extension

Question

Find myself writing an extension for Chrome, as a test I want to make this happen:

$(document).click(function(e) { alert('clicked'); });

But it does not work as expected, any ideas?

This is manifest.json:

"name": "Test",
  "version": "0.2",
   "content_scripts": [
    {
      "all_frames": true,
      "matches": ["*://mail.google.com/mail/*"],
      "js": ["jquery-1.7.2.js", "test.js"]
    }
  ]

Answer 1

$(document).click(function(e) { var evt=e||window.event;if(evt.type=='click')alert('clicked'); });

Here is what you are missing!

I think you should use .on() it worked for me. Simple example: $(document).on("click",function(){alert("clicked")});​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

For all options of .on look here http://api.jquery.com/on/
