How to open a popup after a user closes browser window

Hi Friends,
I need to create an application that will open a popup
when the user closes a window. I can do that easily
via onUnload event of javascript but the catch is that
the popup must open only when we close the window and
not when we submit a form or click a link on the page.
Actually it is a survey which opens only when one
closes the window.
I think i am clear.
Any help will be apreciated.

The only way is with the "onUnload" attribute of the "body" command. You can cause alerts to appear, but trying to open a popup window will undoubtedly fail or cause problems with the vast majority of users. That is because popups are annoying and frequently blocked. I would strongly suggest you find another approach.

What kind of other solution it may be. I want to open a survey if a person does not accept mine product.
Thanks for your advice if you could suggest more it would be great.

If a user closes their browser window or navigates to a different page, then that's what the user wants to do. Anything that interferes with that process is going to cause irritation. The user should only be presented with a survey if they click a link to a survey.
