Actually, alot of "reputable" sites do the same thing, including the FORTUNE
magazine site listed below.

    Isn't that usually what porn sites do? (I've only heard...)
 
    This pop-up doesn't always work (i.e. I can select a site from my
address bar without setting off the onUnload), but even if it did, would the
users really want that?
 
    Also, ASP wouldn't be much use for the off-site request, since your page
would be loaded and finished by the time the new "outside" page was
selected.  You could probably store your domain/IP in client-side variables
and check the destination in your onUnload -- you'd probably need to
experiment to see what property (e.g. window.history(1),
window.location.href, etc) holds the upcoming URL -- but this will still be
sketchy in terms of its effectiveness.
 
Just some random musings...

Subject: [Javascript] pop-up window when a user leaves



I want to have a pop-up window come up when a user leaves my website.

I have found several scripts that work when a user leaves a "page", but I

only want the pop-up to come up when they leave the "site".

Know what I mean?

Can anyone point me to a script for that?

An example:

Go over to fortune.com. . . .view an

article. . . .then try and go to another site, like Yahoo or something. At

that point the site determines that you are leaving and instantiates a

pop-up window.

Any ideas? I am thinking that using ASP I can check the new domain or IP out

and see if it matches my IP. If not, then do an onunload popup.

Any other ideas would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks,

DM
