Exit Popups can be made in 2 ways: as popups or as pop-unders.
For both you'll need to install some code for the exit popup as
detailed below:
METHOD #1)
"blur" popup or "pop-under" loads the popup
behind the
current window. To do this, between the <head> tags of your
document
place this code:
<SCRIPT
language="JavaScript">
<!-- window.open('http://www.fullpath.tofile/popup.htm','_blur',
'width=640,height=480, resizable=no, scrollbars=yes, top=120,left=190');
if (window.focus) {
window.focus(); }
// -->
</SCRIPT>
Set the width,
height, top and left tags to fit and place the page best.
This method
will result in the po-punder ALWAYS loading.. and may piss
off your customers. It's probably best used on the very last page
a user
may visit, for instance as part of your final popup to load one
last page for
the visitor before they leave.
--------
METHOD #2)
a normal popup - loads on top of the page when the user exits.
This type of popup will always load when the user exits the page
unless
you add some extra code in your html links where you DON'T wan't
it to
occur. I'll show you how to do all of this below:
To start off,
between the <head> tags of your document, place this code:
<SCRIPT
language="JavaScript">
<!--
var goback=true;
function exit()
{
if (goback) open('http://www.fullpath.tofile/popup.htm','Exit','resizable=no,
scrollbars=no,toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,
menubar=no,width=640,height=480);
}
// -->
</SCRIPT>
Again, set
the width and height tags to fit the page best.
For example the top of your web page may look like the following:
<html>
<head>
<title>Your web page title</title>
[copy and paste the code here]
</head>
<body…
Also, in your
body tag you need to add this code:
onUnload="popup('http://www.fullpath.tofile/popup.htm')"
For example,
your body tag may look like the following:
<body onUnload="popup('http://www.fullpath.tofile/popup.htm')"
link="#FF9999" background="bg2.gif">
This code
makes the popup appear when the browser window is closed.
Now, for links
on the same page where you don’t want the popup to occur
when clicked (eg. to purchase your product, or go deeper in the
site), for
every link and button where you want to stop the popup appearing
if the
user clicks it, just add the following code:
onclick=’exit=false;’
Here’s
an example of a link that contains this:
<a href="ccbill/join.htm"
onClick="exit=false">JOIN NOW</a>
For all other
links and buttons, just leave alone and the popup will appear
when they leave the page.
Hope this
helps!
One thing...
Be careful with use of popups as they may annoy surfers if
used too much and can sometimes do more harm than good. But, when
used in moderation they can be a very useful tool. Good luck!
