Hi,
I'm trying to create an exit popup that doesn't require anything added
to the body tag. In other words, I don't want to say <body
onunload="foo"> . I just want to have window.onunload ="foo" in the
<scripttag.
However, when I do that, it launches foo as soon as the page loads and
does NOT launch when the page is unloaded.
Why is this? And is there a way to accomplish what I'm trying to do?
This is a high priority project, so I really need it fixed ASAP.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

You're having syntax problems.
If you use the "onunload" attribute of the body tag, you must use <body
onunload="foo() ;"(function call).
If however you assign the foo function to the onunload event, you must
assign the function itself, not a string.
window.onunload = foo;
HTH,
Laurent

Hi,
I am only writing for IE 5.5+ so no need for compatibility at all ;-)
I am trying to get my users to logoff which they finish on a particular
page. This is no problem (or should be no problem) as I can just put a
location.replace('http://www.mysite.com/html/logoff.jsp'); into the onUnload
event of the page they always finish on. This should fire when they click
the X in the corner (my app. is in a popup window) instead of hitting...

I am trying to use the onunload event to know when the user closes a
popup by receiving a request on the web server.
I have a main page from where the user opens a popup. What I want is
when the user closes the popup, it sends a request to my web server
(GoAhead) using the onunload event, then closes the popup.
For the moment, this what i have: when the user closes the popup, I

Is there any way to get the same effect that the body tag onUnload creates.
I need a script that will be placed in the body of the html that will open a
new window when the parent is closed.
The window that will open is a survey for a webcast they just viewed.
I can't put the script in the header or place a onUnload command in the body
tag. Only place I can put it is in the
body of the page within a script file.
Thanks a bunch!

Browser
Opera

Any code using onload or onunload, e.g.
window.onload = init; where init() is a function which initialises some variables (for example).

Overview:
Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...
