joecool Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 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> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkencreative Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 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.
