CLASSIC ASP VBscript Detecting when a session is abandoned.

Hello,

I want to launch a pop-under survey when a user leaves my page by closing
the window, but NOT by leaving the page via a hyperlink or form submission.

Is this easy to accomplish with ASP?

Thanks in advance,

G.

What about if they leave by typing a url?

ASP is server side code and therefore executed before the page is returned
to the client. You **might** be able to do what you want using client-side
javascript.

this is quite tricky because there are so many possible ways to manipulate
browser windows,

you can detect if a window is being closed usign JavaScript, on which you
could launch a tiny popup window to do whatever it is you want to be doing
whan a user exits your site...

but,
what if a user opens a second instance of your site by right-clicking a link
and selecting "browse in new window", and then closes the first window a few
minutes later, while the second one is still used...

How do u set classic ASP session variables from an ASP.NET application???

One of the issues I'm having is that I have some very long strings being created in an ASP.NET application that need to somehow appear in a classic ASP session. The strings are too long for cookies or URLs and I'd like to avoid using a database or someother temporary server storage. So far what I've come up with is a .NET class that "spoofs" a...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
