##Why use iframes, then?
Well, iframes are the only way (currently) to isolate a chunk of Javascript, CSS and HTML without being influenced by the current web page style and behavior.
Also, I was stubborn enough to think there was probably a way to communicate between all the layers in a graceful manner. Even though I could not find an answer on Google or StackOverflow.
##The problem
Yo quiero una interfaz de usuario personalizada, no solo el popup que nos dan los muchachos de chrome, iframes are the only way (currently) to isolate a chunk of Javascript, CSS and HTML without being influenced by the current web page style and behavior.
In fact, the problem resided with the use of iframes. I had to send lots of data through JSON objects from the Background layer to any of the iframes and vice versa. Manipulating an iframe is not possible from the Content Script injected in the page, because of the cross-domain restriction.
For example, the page URL currently viewed is
http://www.example.com
and the injected iframe URLs are
chrome-extensions://uniqueidmadeoutoflotsandlotsofletters
Communication between both is impossible because cross-domain communication is a big NO-NO.
