Send DOM node object via chrome.tabs.sendMessage

Question

I am writing a Chrome extension. I need to pass an element object from the content script to the background script.

The goal:
The extension is about record and r

Answer 1

I used a workaround to click the element,

besides save the element and then using element.click() I used the cords to click the element without saving the element itself:

document.elementFromPoint(cords.x - window.pageXOffset, cords.y - window.pageYOffset).click();
