How to populate a text field on a webpage with a chrome extension?

I'm trying to create my first chrome extension but I can't fill a text field on a web from my chrome extension.

If I could get some help filling in this textfield or a general textfield it would be greatly appreciated.

Here are the files I have so far:

manifeste.json

JSON:
   {

        "name": "Zero",

        "version": "1.0",

        "manifest_version": 3,

        "description": "Auto fill form GRC",

        "icons": {

            "16": "icon/icon.png",

            "48": "icon/icon.png",

            "128": "icon/icon.png"

        },

        "action": {

            "default_popup": "index.html",

            "default_icon": "icon/icon.png"

        },

        "options_page": "options.html",

        "content_scripts": [

            {

                "matches" : [

                    "http://*/*",

                    "https://*/*"

                ],

                "js": ["popup.js"]

            }

        ],

        "permissions": [

            "activeTab",

            "storage",

            "scripting",

            "tabs",

            "clipboardWrite",

            "notifications",

            "contextMenus"

        ]

    }


index.html

HTML:
<!doctype html>

<html>

<head>

    <style>

        body {
min-width: 120px;
 overflow-x: hidden;
 font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
        }

input, textarea {
width: 140px;
        }

input#save {
 font-weight: bold;
 width: auto;

        }
    </style>



</head>

<body>

<h1>GRC</h1>

<center>

    <form>

        <div>

            <label><b>Veuillez saisir un code</b></label>

            <input name="inpt" id="inpt" autocomplete="off"/>

            <p>

                <button id="btn">Enter</button>

                <script src="popup.js"></script>

            </p>

        </div>

    </form>

</center>

</body>

</html>

popup.js


JavaScript:
   const button = document.getElementById('btn');

    const input = document.getElementById('inpt');

    

    button.onclick = () => {

      functions[input.value]();

    };

    

    functions = {

      1: function () { document.getElementById('a').value = '9: Object'; },

      2: function () { alert(2); },

      3: function () { alert(3); },

      4: function () { alert(4); },

      5: function () { alert(5); },

      6: function () { alert(6); },

    }


I noticed that the functions launch on the window of the "index.html" extension and not on the target web page, here are the images:

the codes works fine and here is the test link: https://codepen.io/Arthur222/pen/eYrVvwK?editors=1010

but they don't seem to work on a web page with my extension.
