| 3 horizontal panel just above a tab's contents, |

| 14 Use an infobar to tell the reader |
| 15 something about a particular page. |
| 16 When the user leaves the page for which the infobar is displayed, |
| 17 Google Chrome automatically closes the infobar. |

| 21 You implement the content of your |
| 22 infobar using HTML. Because infobars are ordinary pages inside an extension, |
| 23 they can |
| 24 <a href="overview.html#pageComm">communicate with other extension pages</a>. |

| 31 The infobars API is avaiable under "infobars" |
| 32 permission and dev channel only. Also, you should specify |
| 33 a 16x16-pixel icon for display next to your infobar. |
| 34 For example: |
