3 The infobars API allows you to add a | |
4 horizontal panel just above a tab's contents, | |
5 as the following screenshot shows. | |

10 alt="An infobar asking whether the user wants to translate the current page" /

11 </p> | |
12 <p> | |
13 Use an infobar to tell the reader | |
14 something about a particular page. | |
15 When the user leaves the page for which the infobar is displayed, | |
16 Google Chrome automatically closes the infobar. | |
17 </p> | |
18 <p> | |
19 You implement the content of your | |
20 infobar using HTML. Because infobars are ordinary pages inside an extension, | |
21 they can | |
22 <a href="overview.html#pageComm">communicate with other extension pages</a>. | |
23 </p> | |

26 The infobars API is currently | |
27 experimental, so you must declare the "experimental" | |
28 permission to use it. Also, you should specify | |
29 a 16x16-pixel icon for display next to your infobar. | |
30 For example: | |
31 </p> | |
32 <pre>{ | |
33 "name": "Andy's infobar extension", | |
34 "version": "1.0", | |
35 <b>"permissions": ["experimental"],</b> | |
36 <b>"icons": {</b> | |
37 <b>"16": "16.png"</b> | |
38 <b>},</b> | |
39 "background": { | |
40 "scripts": ["background.js"] | |
41 } | |
42 }</pre> | |
