I'm trying to copy the url's of all the open tabs with javascript and then put the urls into a html textarea, however it's not working. This is my code.
chrome.windows.getCurrent({"populate":true}, function(currentWindow) {
var tabURLs = [];
var tabs = currentWindow.tabs;
for (var i=0; i<tabs.length; i++) {
tabURLs.push(tabs[i].url);
}
var textArea = document.getElementById("thing");
var text = textArea.value;
tabURLs.forEach(item => text += item);
});
};
Keep in mind this is a google chrome extension, let me know how I can fix this!
Your code is modifying a copy of the element's value, not the element itself.
You need to replace text += with textArea.value +=
P.S. The code can be shortened:
chrome.tabs.query({}, tabs => {
document.getElementById("thing").value = tabs.map(t => t.url).join('\n');
});
