How to get a list of downloads using the Chrome.downloads api?

I've created an extension and I want it to list all of the downloads in the user's downloads folder on a page rather than just opening the download folder.

This is my code:

window.onload = function(){
    var maxNumOfEntries = 100;

    for(i = 0; i < maxNumOfEntries; i++){
        para = document.createElement('p');
        para.setAttribute("id", ("download" + i));
        var node = document.createTextNode("");
        para.appendChild(node);
        var element = document.getElementById("content");
        var child = document.getElementById("stuff");
        element.insertBefore(para,child);
    }

    var num = 0;

    var currentTime = new Date().getTime();

    chrome.downloads.search({text: '', limit: 100}, function(data) {
        data.forEach(function(DownloadItem) {
            document.getElementById('download' + num).innerHTML = DownloadItem.filename;
            num++;
        });
    });
}

I've tried various other methods but I just can't seem to get the downloads to appear, any advice?

The text property should not be there, which is causing the problem.

chrome.downloads.search({limit: 100}, function(data) {
    data.forEach(function(item, i) {
        document.getElementById('download' + i).innerHTML = item.filename;
    });
});
