[thelist] Pop-up when user leaves site.

[Don Makoviney]

Actually, it is not impossible. Go over to fortune.com. . . .view an
article. . . .then try and go to another site, like Yahoo or something. At
that point the site determines that you are leaving and instantiates a
pop-up window.

Any ideas? I am thinking that using ASP I can check the new domain or IP out
and see if it matches my IP. If not, then do an onunload popup.

Any other ideas would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

DM

In practice this can't be done, because you cannot find out if the new page 
is from a new site. If the page is in another site you're not allowed to 
read out the location, so you cannot tell the location of the new page.

So: this is impossible.
