Display popup window from context menu?

[Robert Dailey]

Hi,

I have a context menu extension that, when clicked, should open a
popup window that allows me to present various options to the user.
This is sort of like an options page, but I don't know if I want it to
take up a whole tab.

Any ideas on how to accomplish this?

You can inject a script (using chrome.tabs.executeScript) that will create a floating <div> or something.

I did a lot of research on "popovers" (these seem to be floating divs)
but I'm not sure how you set up the HTML & CSS for one. Any tips here?

Thanks for your help so far!

Mmm... something like -

var div = document.createElement("DIV");

div.style.position = "fixed";

div.style.top = "5px";

div.style.left = "5px";

div.style.width = "400px";

div.style.height = "400px";

div.style.backgroundColor = "black";

div.style.color = "white";

div.innerHTML = "Some <b>html</b>.";

document.body.appendChild(div);
