I’m trying to develop a Google Chrome extension.

When the user clicks the extension button, a small window will appear (not window.open / pop-up) and will display the web page. I have basic JavaScript knowledge, and I heard it’s possible with JavaScript. So, I want to show my website in limited size window. How can I do that in a simple way with JS/HTML/CSS?

An example (not the same thing, but it’s close): A google chrome extension which is showing in a custom window

Thanks for any input.

    What you’re looking for is called a popup. Check out the Chrome Extensions getting started tutorial for more info.

    The popup opens an HTML page and resizes to fit your content. So the simplest way to show an external url in a extension popup would be to place an iframe in your popup source:

    <iframe width="800" height="600" src="http://www.google.com"></iframe>
