Fairwell window launcher script

**Neticus** · 11-13-2005, 03:39 PM

This script is supposed to open up a window as user exits site, yet no matter where i place the Onunload script it also pops up if user presses internal links. Question is how do i make it only operate when user leaves site? i.e. Please how do I exclude mysite.com?

Fairwell window launcher script code

HTML Code:

<script>
function openpopup(){
//configure "seeyou.htm and the window dimensions as desired
window.open("seeyou.htm","","width=300,height=338")
}

function get_cookie(Name) {
  var search = Name + "="
  var returnvalue = "";
  if (document.cookie.length > 0) {
    offset = document.cookie.indexOf(search)
    if (offset != -1) { // if cookie exists
      offset += search.length
      // set index of beginning of value
      end = document.cookie.indexOf(";", offset);
      // set index of end of cookie value
      if (end == -1)
         end = document.cookie.length;
      returnvalue=unescape(document.cookie.substring(offset, end))
      }
   }
  return returnvalue;
}

function loadpopup(){
if (get_cookie('popped')==''){
openpopup()
document.cookie="popped=yes"
}
}
</script>

Onunload script

Code:

<body onunload="loadpopup()">

Im not a webdesigner so the easiest possible explanation greatly appreciated
Thank you

Just for the record is what im suggesting from the script impossible?

No, just fraught with inconsistencies across browsers and likely to be blocked anyway in those browsers that would support it by their default pop up blocking settings. In addition, it is generally considered obnoxious to do something like this anyway and not a topic (judging from the response you've received so far) of much interest to folks in these forums. Nothing personal.

Thanks for insight

Peace out.

What would be even better than a popup window would be a clingy girlfriend who grabs you as you try to leave her website, crying,
and begs you not to go out with the boys again tonight.
