Chrome Extension: chrome.tabs.create callback function

I was trying to call the chrome.tabs.create callback function in popup.js so that I could change the title of a tab. According to another StackOverflow question (chrome extension: callback function not getting called), I need to put the code in background.js in order to use the callback function.

However, I have tried this and it does not work. Even if I do not have the callback function (in background.js), the tab will not be created.

EDIT: updated code

part of popup.js

/* opens tabs if button is clicked */
groupButton.onclick = function()

/* opens the tabs */
for (var j = 0; j < group["tabCount" + i]; j++)

// cannot use callback function because popup is immediately closed upon
// tab creation, have to use background script
chrome.extension.getBackgroundPage().createTab(group, i, j);

// used to work in popup.js with no callback function
// chrome.tabs.create("url": group["tabUrls" + i][j], "active": false);




background.js

function createTab(group, i, j)

chrome.tabs.create("url": group["tabUrls" + i][j], "active": false, function(tab)

for (var k = 0; k < group["tabCount" + i]; k++)

var tabTitle = group["tabNames" + i][k];
console.log("create tab title: " + tabTitle);
chrome.runtime.sendMessage(tab.id, getTitle: tabTitle, function(response));

)



content.js

chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener(function(request, sender, sendResponse)

if (request.getTitle)

document.title = request.getTitle;

)
