[Javascript] Determining when a person leaves your domain

[allard-schripsema at procergs.rs.gov.br (Allard Schripsema)]

You might try this (just an idea):

You must have a frame around your site.
Every link, menuItem etc in the site will set a boolean in the top of the
frame to true
Every onload of the page will reset the boolean to false
Every unload of the page will check if this boolean is true or false and act
accordingly

hope this helps,

Again I want to stress that I do not want to annoy people, and this
action would happen on one page only. And if they have JavaScript
disabled they just don't get the survey - I can accept that.

But this is for an abandonment survey and I don't want them to be able
to take it before they "really" decided to abandon - there could be
offers associated and I can't have them coming up too soon.

So in JavaScript can I tell if they are using the back button or
refreshing the screen (perhaps not a full tracking if they are staying
on the site or not)? (again keeping the annoyance level to a minimum)

Hi,

I think there's probably some milage in considering Mike's suggestion to
"let people choose [the survey link] voluntarily through an easily
visible link".

I can't personally think of an all-encompassing JavaScript solution to
your goal, but even if one existed (which I doubt), it would be
worthless for any visitor to your site who has JavaScript disabled (and
there are plenty of those out there).  Such visitors wouldn't know about
your survey unless there was a clear link to it.

FWIW

Matt

trying to keep annoyance to the lowest level possible.
