You may use the unload event to open the popup. When a page gets loaded,
step through all links and add a javascript click handler which will set
a global variable. Check for that variable in your unload handler. If it
is not present, show the popup.

Problem there is that it would pop up constantly when switching pages inside
the same website. At least that's how I understood it. Meaning if I have two
pages, named A and B under domain www.my_stupid_domain.com, when I clicka
link on page A that leads me to B, no pop up is shown. When I move from B
back to A no popup is presented either. When I close the browser, then and
only then the pop up appears. If that is in fact the requirements, I see a
potentially terrible terrible solution - but it might work. Make a frame
container that has two frames, which has rows 100% and *. Inside the 100%
frame you have the pages. When you move from one page to another inside the
frame, nothing happens. Now, in the invisible * frame you have nothing
except this:
<html><body onUnload="show_ the_damn_popup( );"></body></html>. When you close
the browser, or move to another location (ie. when the frame is closed.),
the bottom frame is exited, thus onUnload is triggered.

I know it is completely pointless to tell that what you are doing there is
once again hating your clients so much that you wish to irritate them with a
pop up, and I for one would not approve such behaviour on my site. But
people are willing to do so much to drive their clients away from crappy web
sites, I'm not at all surprised you want to do this, so a possibly working
solution is suggested above. Feel free to use it.

Did you know that when one little panda makes a pop up window attack another
little pandas browser, that's hypertextual harrasment. And that makes me a
saaad panda...

No:

var internalLink = false;

onload = function() {
var links = document.links;
for (var i=0; i<links.length ; i++) {
links[i].onclick = function() {
internalLink = true;
location.href = this.href;
return false;
}
}
};

onunload = function() {
if (!internalLink)
showPopup();
};

Thankfully most browsers now have popup blockers, so many users won't suffer
the popup.

I must be from Slowvill or something. Hadda read that like ten times before
I understood what it does exactly, but it does make sense. However:

links[i].onclick = function() {
internalLink = true;
location.href = this.href; // are these
return false; // really necessary??
}

wouldn't be just the same:

links[i].onclick = function() {
internalLink = true;
}

The link does that just the same if you return true, or don't return
anything. The only thing the onClick funtion needs to do is set internalLink
true and let the link do the rest, as it would do anyway...

Anyway, it's much better solution than what I suggested, as it utilizes no
frames. Still, that sort of functionality on a website uses the dark side of
javascript if you ask me.

Most of these blockers allow popups on a user interaction like a click.
Some of them are customizable enough to change that too.

You are not opening the popup onclick of the link, you are opening (or
attempting to) open it onUnload of the page. Popup blockers block those
popups because they are unrequested. That is, unless you think that
leaving your site is requesting that you bombard me with popups. Why do
you think popup blockers are so popular??

Personally, I would fire a client who insisted that I do something like
that, unless they could demonstrate a VERY valid reason.

Thus far, I haven't been able to come up with such a reason...

How to force an ASP.NET web app to exit?

catching exit

Hi there, I am trying to reuse a piece of code that was designed as an application. The code is covered with 'exit' calls. I would like to reuse it as a library. For that I renamed the 'main' function into 'mymain', but I am stuck as to what I should do for the 'exit'. AFAIK there is no portable way to catch the exit. The only thing I can think of is atexit, but that does not work since 'exit' is still called afterward.
