Dispatch messages from a safari extension popover to the global page -

i have safari extension popover needs communicate global page. content-script using

safari.self.tab.dispatchmessage(name,data);  

to accomplish that. popover didn't find way that. know can access methods in global page directly

safari.extension.globalpage.contentwindow 

but goal reuse code fragments used in content-scripts. same chrome version of plugin.

is there code little clever proxy emulates

safari.self.tab.dispatchmessage(name,data);  

from popover?

to honest it's easier have different code in popover , injected scripts. if want, this:

function dispatchmessage(name, message) {     if (safari.self.tab) {         safari.self.tab.dispatchmessage(name, message);     } else if (safari.extension.globalpage.contentwindow) {         safari.extension.globalpage.contentwindow.handlemessage({name: name, message: message});     } } 

then use dispatchmessage('foo', 'bar') in both popover , injected scripts. it's bit hacky though, because message event object has more information on name , message, , have ensure handlemessage function same function assigned message event listener in global page.
