pop up won't popup on exit

veedee · 12-20-2004, 08:32 AM

Hii ..
I have been building a database for my office, I use php mysql and connected via intranet.
I would like to have a popup window while user close the internet explorer/exit from database. I have copied a javascript script from http://www.javascript-coder.com/wind...dow-open.phtml ,below :

<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
function MyExit() {
window.open('thankyou.html');
}
</script>
</head>
<body onUnload="MyExit();">
your main page...
</body>
</html>

but when I close my ie window, there's no popup window appeared.
Could somebody explain what's wrong with this code? or something wrong with my ie (I have enabled javscript in ie option).

Thank you in advance

Just a guess, but first you may have some popup blocking software installed, which would certainly do the trick. Furthermore, the onUnload may be case sensitive, although it shouldn't be. You might try changing it to onunload instead. Moreover, you might try firing the function on another event, just to make sure that is working. Furthermore, you might try the onlcose event instead, even though that might not give you the desired behavior (seeing as the person would first have to close the browser, instead of just browse off of it) Please be aware that this is only a cursory look at your problem.

The only problem I can see is that you have pop-up blockers installed. Your code looks fine to me, but I would suggest to try ender's solutions to see if it gives you the desired effects. Although, onclose event is not what you are looking for I gues...
