I'm adding an exit popup that only appears when visitors leave my site. As such, I need to code all my internal links with onclick="exit=false"
That's easy enough, but I'm using a dropdown menu script (Ultimate Dropdown Menu) and I can't just code the links in the script. I e-mailed the developer and he sent this back as the proper format for coding the link:
("page.html?name=value&othername=othervalue")
I'm ignorant about how to translate this. He's a busy guy and takes a while to respond, so I thought I'd just ask you helpful folks. Can someone please take the onclick="exit=false" instruction and put it in the proper format for me?
Thanks very much in advance!
I think i see what it means but a little more info might be good. Do the links in the dropdown menu get fired by an onChange event or is there a button you click to GO to the link?
if it calls a function you may be able to put your exit=false into the function itself.
It's a DHTML dropdown menu, in which the user simply clicks the link name to go to that page.
Here's a bit more of the code from the script that shows how each page is linked:
// add main link item ("url","Link name",width,"text-alignment","_target","alt text",top position,left position)
addMainItem("index.html","Home",115,"center","","",0,0);
// define submenu properties (width,"align to edge","text-alignment",v offset,h offset)
defineSubmenuProperties(180,"left","left",0,0);
// add submenu link items ("url","Link name","_target","alt text")
// define child menu properties (width,"align to edge","text-alignment",v offset,h offset)
defineChildmenuProperties(170,"left","center",-3,-30);
// add child menu link items ("url","Link name","_target","alt text")
addMainItem("","Articles & Tips",103,"center","","",0,0);
defineSubmenuProperties(335,"left","left",0,0);
addSubmenuItem("info.html" ,"Articles Home","_self","");
addSubmenuItem("pages.html","From the Pages of Our Newsletter","_self","");
addSubmenuItem("ebooks.html","Free eBooks","_self","");
instead of
addMainItem("index.html","Home",115,"center","","",0,0);
put
addMainItem("index.html?exit=false","Home",115,"center","","",0,0);
i don't know if this fixes the problem but that is what he meant it seems, you just add ?exit=false to the end of each link in each item.
All the best,

The script is:
<script>

function getCookie(NameOfCookie)
{
if (document.cookie.length > 0)
{
begin = document.cookie.indexOf(NameOfCookie+"=");
if (begin != -1)
{
begin += NameOfCookie.length+1;
end = document.cookie.indexOf(";", begin);
if (end == -1) end = document.cookie.length;
return unescape(document.cookie.substring(begin, end));
}
}
return null;
}
function setCookie(NameOfCookie, value, expiredays)
{
var ExpireDate = new Date ();
ExpireDate.setTime(ExpireDate.getTime() + (expiredays*24*60*60*1000));
document.cookie = NameOfCookie + "=" + escape(value) +
((expiredays == null) ? "" : "; expires=" + ExpireDate.toGMTString());
}
var exit=true;
function leave()
{
visited=getCookie('visited');
if (exit)
if (visited==null)
{
setCookie('visited','yes',1) // SET AMOUNT OF DAYS HERE
window.open('xpop.html','popup','location=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,width=400,height=550');
}
}
</script>
And this is included in the <BODY> tag:
<BODY onUnload="leave()">
I have it set up on 404 error page -

<added>you can put that url in your profile if you want people to check it out.
this statement has problems as well, you have if (exit) but the braces would seem to be missing I would think it should be like this
function leave()
{
visited=getCookie('visited');
if (exit) {
if (visited==null)
{
setCookie('visited','yes',1) // SET AMOUNT OF DAYS HERE
window.open ('xpop.html','popup','location=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,width=400,height=550');
}
}
}
then it would check if exited is true then set the cookie and show the popup
