Firewall blocking hidden windows!!!! HELP!

Hi

I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to get round the following problem:

I a have written a visit tracking system whereby i use javascript to collect page duration screen size etc, when the user closes the window it triggers the onunload function that calls a php page posting the above values in a hidden window drawn off the screen. The problem is that is pop up window blocking is present (i.e in symantec etc) then it does not work.

I have also tried loading the page in a img src etc but it seems to screw everything up on the onclose i.e. when the user leaves it goes to a blank page??

Any Help is greatly appreciated

@96turnerriFeb 08.2004 — hmmm sounds interesting why does it have to be in a popup cant it be on the main page in a string?, AFAIK u cnt get round most popup blokcers well good ones because thats what there for to stop popups, kinda defeats the object

How would i go about doing that?

Do you mean have all the php code in a document.write statement? i.e. document.write('<?php>'); etc

Is tha above possible?

Many Thanks for your help

@AdamGundryFeb 08.2004 — No, you cannot generate PHP using document.write(), because PHP has to run on the server before the client gets the code (and hence before it executes the Javascript). You would be better off coming up with a solution that does not require popups.
