I am developing a chrome extension that injects html to Linkedin. When I do $(document.body).append($("<div>"));
from my Js file, it also appends for an Iframe component that's on the page.How ever when I type $(document.body)
on the console it only returns main body.
How do I restrict it to only main body from my js file.?
My manifest file:
{
"manifest_version":2,
"name": "Hawk! Beta",
"description": "Hawk",
"version": "1.0",
"permissions": [
"activeTab",
"tabs",
"storage",
"https://ajax.googleapis.com/",
"https://*.ngrok.io/"
],
"icons": {
"16": "img/icon.png",
"48": "img/icon.png",
"128": "img/icon.png"
},
"browser_action": {
"default_icon": {
"19": "img/icon.png",
"38": "img/icon.png"
}
},
"background": {
"scripts": [
"js/lib/jquery.min.js",
"js/lib/asteroid/ddp.js",
"js/lib/asteroid/q/q.js",
"js/lib/asteroid/asteroid/dist/asteroid.chrome.js",
"js/lib/asteroid/asteroid/dist/plugins/facebook-login.js",
"js/lib/asteroid/asteroid/dist/plugins/google-login.js",
"js/lib/asteroid/asteroid/dist/plugins/github-login.js",
"js/lib/bootstrap.min.js",
"js/background.js"
]
},
"content_scripts": [
{
"matches": [
"https://www.linkedin.com/*"
],
"all_frames" : true,
"match_about_blank": true,
"js": [
"js/lib/jquery.min.js",
"js/lib/handlebars.js",
"js/content_scripts/getPagesSource.js"
],
"css":[
"css/custom.css"
]
}
],
"web_accessible_resources": [
"img/*",
"js/*",
"js/lib/*",
"css/custom.css",
"html/*"
]
}
The code I used to inject html
function injectHtml(){
console.log(document.body); //this returns 2 bodies
$(document.body).append($("<div>", {
"class": "myapp-container"
}));
}
I only want to inject into main body and not into iframe body.

As suggested by Patrick and wOxxOm , I edited the manifest file's content_scripts to look like below.
"content_scripts": [
{
"matches": [
"https://www.linkedin.com/*"
],
"all_frames" : false, //this had to be changed
"match_about_blank": true,
"js": [
"js/lib/jquery.min.js",
"js/lib/handlebars.js",
"js/content_scripts/getPagesSource.js"
],
"css":[
"css/custom.css"
]
}
]
It now works fine. Thanks guys.
Edit: all_frames:
Controls whether the content script runs in all frames of the matching page, or only the top frame.
