Greetings all,

I desperatly need help! i can't seem to make the script work the way i need it to.

heres what im trying to accomplish: if the user leaves the site then it displays a pop-up stateing there leaving and that the next link is NOT affiliated with the originating site.

but if the user clicks on a link thats withing the site then the popup will not me displayed. either way is fine, IE pop java window or pop up new page.

here is the code i have created.....

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;Javascript&quot;>
<!-- HIDE SCRIPT FROM OLD BROWSERS

// OPEN EXIT CONSOLE

var q=1;

function exit1() {

if (q==1) window.open(&quot; self.focus();}

// STOP HIDING SCRIPT FROM OLD BROWSERS -->
</SCRIPT>

please help!

thanks in advance!

You could make every link a window.open:
<a href=&quot;#&quot; onClick=&quot;window.open('win1.html');window.open('you_are_leaving_win.html');&quot;>Window1 will not open the window</a>
<a href=&quot;#&quot; onClick=&quot;window.open('win2.html');&quot;>Window2 will not open the window</a>

try this:
Code: 
<html>
<head>
<script language='javascript'>
var tru = false;
function doClick(e)
{
eTag = e.srcElement.tagName;
if (eTag == 'A')
{
tru = true;
}
else
{tru = false;}

return false;
}
function checkClick()
{
if (tru == true) {return true;} else {window.open('exit_page.html','nombre','')}
}

</script>
</head>
<body onClick='doClick(event)' onUnload='checkClick()'> 
<a href='yadade.html'>blah</a>
<a href='yadadee.html'>blah</a>
<a href='yadad.html'>blah</a>
<a href='yadada.html'>blah</a>
</body>
</html>

Dookie2k2,

do you mean there are links on your page that lead to a different site? &quot;Those who dare to fail miserably can achieve greatly.&quot; - Robert F. Kennedy

What his script does is checks how the user leaves the page: by clicking a link, or by some other way. It doesn't do anything about links that go to other sites.

To get the effect that I think you want, you should use the method given below to navigate to different sites, and normal links to navigate within your site. For links to sites outside of your domain, do this:
<a href=&quot;the_other_site_url&quot; onClick=&quot;window.open('leaving.html');&quot;>click me!</a>

here ya go, i changed this so if they arent leaving your site it doesnt open a popup.
Code: 
<html>
<head>
<script language='javascript'>
var olink = false;
function doClick(e)
{
siteName = 'rmselca.org'; //the name of your site
src = e.srcElement;
eRef = src.href;
eTag = e.srcElement.tagName;
	if (eTag == 'A' && eRef.indexOf(siteName) != -1)
	{
	olink = true;
	}
	else
	{
	olink = false;
	}
return false;
}
function checkClick()
{
if (olink == true) {return true;} else {window.open('exit_page.html','nombre','')}
}

</script>
</head>
<body onClick='doClick(event)' onUnload='checkClick()'> 
<a href='[URL unfurl="true"]http://rmselca.org'>blah</a>[/URL]
<a href='yadadee.html'>blah</a>
<a href='yadad.html'>blah</a>
<a href='yadada.html'>blah</a>
</body>
</html>

Thanks everyone for your help. The popup is working however when we hit the refresh button the popup screen comes up eventhough the user has not left the website. How can this be fixed. Thanks again.
