I have seen this discussed before but can't find the thread.

Basically, I have a pop-up feedback form. When the visitor submits the form I need the form to close and Alert a thank you message, rather than actually redirecting to a thank you page.

For the close I have simply done:

input type="submit" value="Send" onClick="self.close()"

But how do I get the Alert? I tried adding onmouseup alert and onunload alert but they dont work. I am clusless on this subject.
Any ideas please??

Thanks guys!!!

Add this to the <body> tag of your pop-up window:

<body onUnload=alert('Thank you!')>

Hi Starway!

Thanks, what I actually tried was
body onunload=&quot;javascript:alert('Thank you.etc...');&quot;
but that would not work.,
i'll give your a try.

thx again!

The reason your code didn't work is that you don't need the &quot;javascript:&quot; part in an event handler, since an event handler HAS to be javascript. You only need it in things like an href, where it's javascript is not expected.

Ti Tracy, thanks for the explanation.
I also tried Starway's suggestion:
onUnload=alert('Thank you!')
...but that didnt work either.

Could the problem be the way I am closing the page incorporating the close into the submit button?
input type=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Send&quot; onClick=&quot;self.close()&quot;

actually for the submit to work I needed to change that to &quot;onmouseup&quot;, it submits and closes but still won't alert. :(
