How do you focus a textbox in a google-chrome extension? I have tried this javascript:

<script type="text/javascript">
function setFocus()
{
     document.getElementById("Target").focus();
}
</script>

</head>

<body onload="setFocus()">

<div style="float:left">
<table cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" id="mytable" style="float:left;">

<tbody><tr><td>Target:</td> <td><input type="text" name="Target" size="25" value="" /></td></tr>
</tbody></table>

I found this code on multiple code forum websites, so I am not sure if the javascript is not working or if chrome prevents it from running.

    You’re using getElementById(), but in your example Target is the name attribute, not the ID.

    Add id="Target", like this:

    <input type="text" id="Target" name="Target" size="25" value="" />
