Here is my backgournd page code. The body onload function "init()" is
defined in a javascript. How can I debug this function?

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/background.js"></script>
</head>

<body onload="init()">
</body>
</html>

Although I can set breakpoint at this function. But I have no chance
to stop at it because it run when my extension is loaded.

Could someone share some idea?

On the mac if you inspect the background page, set a breakpoint, and press Apple-R in the developer tools, the background page will reload and the breakpoint will fire. I believe this will work on other platforms as well (just use the key combo for reloading the page on that platform).
