CLASSIC ASP VBscript Detecting when a session is abandoned.

[G]

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...
