pop up window when user leaves page

[krups]

this isn't my favorite functionality, but the client seems to want this. the idea is to have an optional survey presented to the user when they leave the site.

ideas on where to look for implementation? mostly i'm not sure what event to use to trigger the javascript.

thanks,

You can use the

onunload

event for this. It's a little inconsistent, but it usually fires.

This might be a win/win situation for you! Most pop-up blockers stop this kind of thing. So you can put it there, but anyone who feels as you do and uses a blocker won't see it. And, presuming your client isn't in that group, he or she will see it and be happy.
