pop up a new window if user abandons a website.

[youtubers]

Im needing a script that when a user clicks the "X" (closing the browser) or abandons my site a new small pop up window will appear..

The new small pop up window will ask "Why are you abandoning my site? Did you have any questions .. please let us know.." and then the user has the option to answer it or not.... then submit message or totally close the new window and main window..


I know the "window.closed" is the key but I dont know how to use it .. I checked on the internet but no information nor samples of it...

thanks..

Welcome to TSDN.
Try this, it will work.

window.onbeforeunload = function(){/*Your code goes here*/}
 

Good Luck!
But mind it, it will work in Opera.

Kind regards,

u can try something like this

window.onbeforeunload=function(){ 
my_win=window.open("", "mywindow1","width=350,height=150");
my_win.document.write(/*write ur code here*/)
};

youtubers, just a word of warning. While the suggestion may work in most modern browsers, it is extremely annoying. If the user decides to leave your website, it's generally good practice to let them leave. If you don't and pester them with a popup, they are more than likely to abandon your website for good (never to return again).

the window.onbeforeunload event will be fired also when user refreshes the page

Heya, Tubers.

Beware of popup blockers!

The average attention span of an internet User is maybe 5 seconds. If you're noticing a lot of unique-but-onetime visitors in your server logs, then your site has nothing that is 'grabbing' your Users' attention.

Direct feedback would be nice, but you're not going to get it that way.
