title: Google Chrome extension - How to access an element and send a HTTP request?
body: <p>I haven't managed to find any good resources on Google Chrome extension development. Does anyone know of any blogs or resources that walks you through creating extensions?</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to create a chrome extension that when I press the extension icon in the toolbar it will look through the webpage, retrieve certain elements and then send a HTTP request to the server as if the javascript that is sending the http request is part of the original page.</p>
