Creating a popup only on Close

[don320]

I need to create a popup that only closes when someone exits the window, but not when they push the back button of their browser.

Here is the code I am using.
exited = 0;
function popup() {
if(exited)
{
var popurl="herman-popup.html"
winpops = window.open(popurl, "", "width=390 height=490, scrollbars,")
}
}
and I think I need to put some type of statement for windows.history.back() or windows.history.go(-1)

onunload does not differentiate between back and close.

Is it possible then to have a popup domain specific. Meaning only when they leave our site?

So you saying it is in no way possible to create an if statement that says someting like this:

...
if(exited){If(windows.history.go(-1) (exited=1
{
{
var popurl="herman-popup.html"
winpops = window.open
popurl, "", "width=390 height=490, scrollbars,")
}
}


}

FYI,

A recent study of prolific internet users showed that 100% were against this type of exit popups, and would strive to not visit sites that utilised them.
