How do I get a popup window to open when the visitor exits the website

robert89 · Dec 9, 2003

I have create a popup window which opens when a user enters our site (or a specific page).

Does anyone know if it is possible to have the popup come up when the user leaves the site.

Would this be done with javascript and if so, how would I go about doing this.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Bob

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE = "JavaScript">
<!-- //
function openit(sURL){newwindow=open(sURL,"newwin","width=300, height=300&quot

;
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body onUnload="javascript

penit ('smallwin.html')">
body text goes here
</body>

You can also change the height and width settings, or add or remove other windows settings by adding the following functions:
function openit(sURL){newwindow=open(sURL,"newwin","scrollbars=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,menubar=no,resizabe=no,status=no,width=300,height=300&quot

;
}

Try this:

<body onunload="window.open('somePage.html')">

Adam
while(ignorance==true){perpetuate(violence,fear,hatred);life--};

Thank you for the unload suggestion. I kind knew about that one. I don't I was very clear in what I was asking, so I will try again.

The website has 1000s of pages. The visitor can come in through the index page and the popup will appear. However if the user jumps to a page within the site, without passing through the main index page, they will not see my popup.

Given the site has thousands of pages, I am wondering if there is anyway to have my popup appear when a clear exit has been made from the site?

The body tag of onUnload will do that, but you'll have to add it to every page... I'm not aware of any other way to pop open a window with javascript when someone exits a page.
