How would I inject an html page with tailwindcss/alpine into the current page with content.js?

To inject an HTML page with Tailwind CSS/Alpine.js into the current page using content.js, you can use the following steps:

  1. Create your HTML page with the necessary Tailwind CSS and Alpine.js code. Save this file as "example.html" in the same directory as your content.js file.

  2. In your content.js file, create a function that will fetch and inject the HTML page into the current page. This can be done using the fetch() method and the innerHTML property of a specified element. Here's an example function:

function injectHtmlPage() {
  fetch('example.html')
    .then(response => response.text())
    .then(data => {
      document.querySelector('body').innerHTML = data;
      // Or specify a different element to inject the HTML into:
      // document.querySelector('#some-element').innerHTML = data;
    })
    .catch(error => console.error(error));
}
  1. Call the function wherever you want to inject the HTML page. This can be done using an event listener or a direct call:
// Using an event listener:
document.querySelector('#inject-button').addEventListener('click', injectHtmlPage);

// Or a direct call:
injectHtmlPage();

Note that you may need to adjust the paths to your HTML and CSS/JS files in the HTML page and the fetch() method depending on your file structure.
