Load new page on site exit

Expand Post »

Is it possible to have a small page load (saying thanks for visiting etc.) when the user closes my website?

Thanks

Martin

Re: Load new page on site exit

Pop-ups are generally hated by everyone, even if it is just to say thank you.

Just a warning.

Re: Load new page on site exit

Try create function in javascript like below:

HTML and CSS Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
<script language=javascript>
 function thankYou(){
  var win=window.open('your popup url', 'thank you', 'window_options');
 }
</script>
<script language=javascript>
 function thankYou(){
  var win=window.open('your popup url', 'thank you', 'window_options');
 }
</script>

and insert in the body tag:

HTML and CSS Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
<body onunload="thankYou()">
<body onunload="thankYou()">

not sure. try it.

Re: Load new page on site exit

Sorry i mistyped 'onUnload'
(working example @ http://www.geocities.com/cppforlife/.../thankyou.html)

HTML and CSS Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
 
<html>
<head>
 <title>Thank You!!!</title>
 <script language=javascript>
  function thankYou(){
   var win=window.open("panel.html", "win");
  }
 </script>
</head>
 
<body onUnload="thankYou()">
<a href="http://www.yahoo.com">Y!</a>
 
 
</body>
</html>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

<html>
<head>
 <title>Thank You!!!</title>
 <script language=javascript>
  function thankYou(){
   var win=window.open("panel.html", "win");
  }
 </script>
</head>

<body onUnload="thankYou()">
<a href="http://www.yahoo.com">Y!</a>


</body>
</html>

code above checked in IE and worked properly..
Also replace 'panel.html' with url of you thenk you page.

If you want to change size of the window and other attributes add third argument to open function like below

HTML and CSS Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)

var win=window.open("panel.html", "win", "left=20,top=20,width=500,height=500");

Good luck.
