Hi,

I am trying to set up an exit popup script so that when someone clicks on exit/close a page pops up in the background giving them an option to stay on the page for a special gift of some kind.

Once you have the script installed just below the </body> tag then you are supposed to be able to but the following code on any outgoing link so that it doesn't prompt the pop-up. onSubmit="throughlink()"

However, I have tried this and as yet, I can't get it to work. Does anyone know of a code I can put into outgoing links so that they do not trigger the popup when clicked on?

Or of an alternative way to do what I want to do?

Here is the javascript for the popup.

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var allowPrompt = true;

done = false;
window.onbeforeunload = WarnUser;


function throughlink(){
throughlink = true;
}

function WarnUser()
{
if(allowPrompt && throughlink !=true && done !=true)
{
done = true;
// Place your upsell URL here
document.location = " ******* exit page url goes here******** ";


var message = "WAIT! WAIT! Don't leave empty handed... ";




return message;
}
else
{
// Reset the flag to its default value.
allowPrompt = true;
}
}

window.setTimeout("resetdone()", 1000);

function resetdone(){
done = false;
}

function NoPrompt()
{
allowPrompt = false;
}

// -->
</script>

To be honest, this isn't something I have any experience with. My impression is that you can't really do what you have in mind -- I think the "window.onbeforeunload" gets called any time a window gets changed, and the only way you can skip this function is adding the "throughlink()" function to all links.

Okay, Thanks
