Is it possible to show webpage in a window from my Chrome extension, only using JS, HTML and CSS?

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.

http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/getstarted.html

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>
