You want to be doing this in a content script [http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/content_scripts.html] rather than a toolstrip. A content script has access to the page's DOM, and can interact with it. Toolstrips are more for general UI for the extension.
You can see the results of console.log from a toolstrip if you go to the page chrome://extensions and click the Inspect link next to the toolstrip. The results of console.log from a content script will be in the page's log. You can communicate between toolstrips and content scripts (so that pressing a button causes an action in the content script). This can (I believe only, though I may be wrong) be done by making a background page, having the content script and toolstrip each connect to it (using chrome.extension.connect), and passing messages over these ports.
