I'm creating an extension for google chrome that when the user clicks the "Copy!" button, execute this function on the web page

onclick="execute()" this won't run, since you can't use inline JavaScript in html file for chrome extensions.

So trying adding click event listenter on copy button using JavaScript, like so:

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
      document.querySelector('input').addEventListener('click', execute);      
});

  • just remove `onclick="execute()"` all together. It would look like this:` ` You don't need this, since click event and the event handler `execute` is added in JS. – makkBit Jul 21 '19 at 07:16
  • Is giving error in js: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'addEventListener' of null at HTMLDocument. (popup.js:2) –  Jul 21 '19 at 07:28
  • updated the snippet. just replace 'button' with 'input'. – makkBit Jul 21 '19 at 07:57
