Using onUnload will execute on EVERY page that the user leaves though .... this is a similar problem to what James was talking about yesterday. There is NO way to know (using javascript anyways) if the user clicks away from the domain, or to another page IN the domain, so if you use onUnload, then the survey page will popup on every single link you click on (whether it's away from the domain or not). There is also no way to tell if they just go to the address bar and type in another address! Also, I dunno what this onClose function is ..... I have only ever seen it mentioned as a NN6+ specific thing (see http://www.mauvecloud.net/events/), and it doesn't even work in Netscape !!! (I have just re-tested my own page using an BODY onClose event in IE & NN, and it didn't work in either). You do mean like a BODY onClose, and not window.close() ??? I was trying to do this recently as well, so if anyone can come up with a way of telling when a person leaves the domain, or closes the browser window, I would be interested to know !! The only way around it I can think of is to use a hidden frame or popup another window which constantly checks that the window that opened it is still in your domain, and still open, and if not, then IT pops up the survey window (and closes itself maybe). This is not really worth doing for my uses, but might be of use to you. HTH !!!
