Hi im creating an extension to chrome and i have a little problem. Im want to add button that sends text to textarea.  
var c = document.createElement(‘c’);  
c.type = ‘button’;  
c.className = ‘button button–icon-only float-left’;  
c.title = ‘Text’;  
c.innerHTML = ‘\<img src=’/uploads/default/original/2X/2/25c0a2f26e88a76ae81165f8919512ff0ad4fae6.png’;\>’;

```
setInterval(function() 
{
var container = document.querySelector('.chat-buttons-container');	
container.appendChild(c);
}, 1000);
c.onlick = taFunkcja();

function taFunkcja(){
var t = document.createTextNode("Example Text");
c.appendChild(t);
document.getElementById("ember2386").appendChild(c);

```

};  
I have my button on chat (scr: [http://scr.hu/0jvt/9hqz8](http://scr.hu/0jvt/9hqz8)) but they don’t send text.  
Thank you.

What’s the use case for this? Your current code is just appending text to the DOM in your browser over and over with `setInterval`. It isn’t taking any action to send to chat.
