tooltip shown with page load / popup position under chrome extension icon - google-chrome-extension

I am creating a browser action chrome extension - the user need to press a button.
I want that with any page load a tool tip will appear on the icon telling the user what he can do by pressing the button.
Can I show a tooltip with any page load? or - I thought I can open a popup that explains the icon with content script - the question is how can I place this popup near the icon - can i some how know the position of the icon?
Thank you!

Chrome extension change border-radius and position

How can I add border-radius on chrome extension popup?
Also, can I add something like margin-top to the popup?
I got the answer from chromium developer:
Alas, that's not something you can control. Your popup content is
basically an iframe inside a window - you can't control the host
window
Chrome simply doesn't allow that.
Alternatives are, instead of the popup, opening a new window or injecting a content script in the active tab to display a modal.

Chrome extension Modal/Popup on click

I want to dynamically generate some buttons on my chrome extension default_popup HTML page and I want on click to open a model in the middle of the screen NOT a new tab, I saw some other extensions having its options like this, and then display some info.
I think the only possibility isto get rid of the defalt_popup and inject all my scripts through the background page straight into the html page.

This question has a couple bits to it. Basically I want to make the context menu behave like a sidebar that pops out a box with html.

prevent popup from opening new window in Ie6

I create a popup using window.open in IE6. Created popup contains a link to other page, which i want to show in the same popup window, but after clicking on the link, the target page is displayed in another brand new popup, so i have 2 popups opened at that moment.
How can i make a new page loaded in the same popup that holds a link to it?
p.s.
a href="somepage.html" target="_self"
didn't help
Using
a onclick="window.location.href = 'http://www.whatever.com/'"
is an option ?
