google chrome extension: i have added a context menu to the browser, how to I popup the popup.html on click on the context menu item ?
A:
Send a request to a content script in a tab where the menu item was clicked. In the content script get popup.html url by calling chrome.extension.getURL("popup.html") and then display this url in a popup like you normally would.

Thanks, yes, but I do want create a "window" with the popup. Can't I pop it like how google chrome does it, at the top right of the current window ?

@Prakash There is `chrome.windows` module where you can create new windows, if that's what you need: http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/dev/windows.html
