:: Details

Either the documentation is lacking something or maybe there is a bug in the SDK.
It seems as if addon.port.on() and addon.port.emit() doesn't work.

The example from the preceding section "Getting user input" works. This is the same Add-On, but using a content script instead of a page script:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/SDK/High-Level_APIs/panel#Getting_user_input

Using jpm 1.0.3.

It looks as if the problem might be that a revision to this page[1] moved the "get-text.js" include in text-entry.html" to before the textarea declaration, so the script couldn't find the textarea.

I've reverted this change. Does it work for you now?

Indeed, I just had too little webdev knowledge to see this myself.
