Help with onunload

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Aug 26.2009

I keep having an issue with onunload. I’m trying to get an alert message to pop up when either the window or the tab is closed, but whenever I click to a defferent page within my website, it is considered to have closed the current page, so it triggers the alert.

Here is the first body tag:

[code=html]<body onunload=”alert(‘Thanks for visiting Pierce County Customs!’)” bottommargin=”0″ leftmargin=”0″ marginheight=”0″ marginwidth=”0″ rightmargin=”0″ topmargin=”0″ background=”background.jpg” text=”#EAF5FF”>[/code]

I thought this was supposed to work, any help would be appreciated greatly.

Personally, I would hate you if I ever came across your alert.

alerts are for developers and diagnosing code, not for slapping your

visitors. Its almost as bad as enbeded music that starts auto with no player controls.

Every internal link could have an onclick handler like this:

[CODE]<a href='somepage.php' onclick='document.body.onunload=null'>xxxxxxx</a>[/CODE]This could be assigned to all relevant links in a loop.

Success!
