By adam0101:
In the onunload event of every page, open the survey at a position off
the screen. In the onload event of every page, close the survey. Then
put a timer in the survey window that repositions itself into view after
about 5 seconds. If another page from your site doesn't get loaded
within 5 seconds to close the survey, it'll display itself.

The tricky part is referencing the popup from the new page. This should
work:
CODE

<body onload="window. open('javascrip t:window.close( )','popupSurvey ')"
onunload="windo w.open('survey. html','popupSur vey','left=-5000')">

In the survey:
CODE

<script>
setTimeout('mov eTo(0,0)',5000) ;
</script>

Thank goodness nonsense like this doesn't come close to "working" (by any
definition) in my Web browser.

Thank goodness Microsoft has put features in place in Windows XP Service
Pack 2 to stop nonsense like this.

Thank goodness 3rd party vendors like Google and Yahoo and Norton offer
popup blockers that stop nonsense like this.

This advice might have actually worked on Web browsers 2 years ago. Today it
is not only bad functionality advice, it's bad technical advice, because it
simply WILL NOT WORK on a large number of Web browsers in use.

Hi all, I am trying to get a way by which I'll know exactly when user goes out of my site by clicking on close button in browser, So that w/e user click close button in browser, I can send a signal to server. This seems to be achievable with body unload events, but it is little too much, as even if user navigate within my site, this event will be generated, this can be avoided by handling onclick of each link, so that I'll know exactly...

I'm working on a web app that under normal circumstances will be happy with the Session_OnEnd event, but when a user leaves a page by closing the browser by either Alt+F4 or just hitting the "X", I'll need to kill the session. Now, with the onbeforeunload event, I can handle this quite easily in IE, but in FireFox, it's another matter. For one thing, FireFox seems to empty out its event object on a page unload, so it's very hard to track...

The problem arises whenever i try to close the window by resizing it or by right clicking at the bottom of the page and then closing it. Can...
