Hi there!

I'm looking for a script to handle a pop-up window event when a visitor exits my site.

I'm posting a survey page and would like to have a "tell us how we're doing" page pop-up before they're allowed to exit the site.

Is this something that can be handled with JavaScript? Cookies?

I know that when a person chooses to exit a site, it could be a tad annoying to get this pop-up request to fill out a mini-survey.

Anyone have any better suggestions how to go about this?

Thanks!

Just a link to "tell us how we're doing" would be friendly,
but if you must: <body onunload="alert('Yet another pop-up');">

But you'll want to add onclick="self.onunload = function () {}" to all of your internal links.

Thanks for the posts.

if you must: <body onunload="alert('Yet another pop-up');">

Does this automatically detect that the user has chosen to exit my domain for another? Or do I only add this script to selected pages - in which case, would I need cookies to keep the pop-up from opening if they've already filled out the survey?

All feedback appreciated.

Thanks -
