[SOLVED] Pop up pops up at the wrong time

[R8515198]

Good evening,

When i click to another page it pops up. I am just after it popping up when the window is closed or when the user goes to another website.

HTML: Select all

<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>

Cheers

Hi Daniel,

How are you calling the function? Do you have the HTML that you are using..

I am thinking that instead of "trying to find" where the user is going, you might have to put a function to close the window when one your pages loads.

Be aware that this is a bad use of a pop-up.

When a user closes your webpage or navigates away, he has decided that he doesn't want to stay. Don't annoy him with goodbye messages or try to prevent him from leaving.

You should not attempt to control the user's browser. It feels like assault.

These so-called "pop-unders" are frequently used by seedy warez and porn sites to generate more windows than the user can close. Modern browsers often block such pop-unders.

Ok I have taken your advise on board MikeHopley, I do understand it is actually annoying now.
