I've seen sights that do popup windows whenever you close their pages and I was wondering where I can get something like that or how ever they do it.

Thanks

To my knowledge you can only do this in IE. All you have to do it put:

window.onbeforeunload=function(){return ''}

The return '' means that no text of your own will appear in the pop-up box. You can put text between the quotes if you want some of your own text to appear. Basically this handler allows people and stay on the page incase they made a mistake and didn't mean to exit the page.

I think that what you mean is how you can load other urls when you close a window.

It is quite easy if you use the onUnload event, this event make happen when you unload or close the window. In this moment you can open a new window, show a message,...

<body onUnload="alert("This can be a solution");">

I think that is what you want. :thumbsup:
