The other day someone on StackOverflow asked how to integrate jGrowl into a Chrome extension.  They had a pretty good start, but missed some important details.  I've uploaded a complete working Chrome extension with jGrowl to Github as part of my response to the question.

The question can be found here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15870797/jgrowl-issue-in-chrome-extension

The GitHub repository with the example implementation can be found here: https://github.com/stanlemon/jgrowl-chrome-ext
