Using jQuery with Content Script and Chrome Extension
<p>I'm trying to create a chrome extension that pops up a small input when a user highlights text on the page (similar to Medium's tweet on text highlight feature).</p>

<p>I'm progressing but would find it much easier to use jQuery (rather than vanilla JS and XHRs).</p>

<p>I've seen a few posts about requiring jQuery in the manifest, and I've tried it many different ways without success.</p>

<p>I have a manifest(below), a contentscript.js and dropdown.js(the file I want to inject onto the page).</p>

<pre><code>{
  "name": "na",
  "version": "1.0",
  "manifest_version": 2,
  "description": "na",
  "homepage_url": "na",
  "content_scripts": [{
      "js": ["jquery.js", "contentscript.js"],
      "matches": ["https://github.com/*"]
    }],
  "web_accessible_resources": ["jquery.js","dropdown.js"]
}
</code></pre>

<p>Any assistance would be much appreciated!</p>
