Google Chrome扩展程序，新标签页焦点

Question

I've been working on an extension for Google Chrome, this is my first attempt. So far I've been able to run my extension in a new tab, but I wanted to know if there was any possibility to remove the focus from the omnibar/addressbar to some content in the tabbed window.

For Example, I'm implementing an input field or text area, and when a new tab opens, I want the blinking cursor/caret to originate in the said text area, and not the google omnibar.

Any possibility using jquery or any google chrome extension api?

I had the same problem. My solution was to use a "dummy html" file as the new page, and everything this page did was running the following JavaScript code (in an external JS file linked to from the dummy html file):

window.open("the-real-new-tab-page.html")
window.close()
