Thanks Volkan I'll give this a try.

I'm setting this up on a non profit site.  They're doing a fund raising 
drive and they want the pop up to come up when the visitor exits the 
site.  The message will say something like "did you find the information 
on our site useful...please make a donation to further our work".

Thanks again
Rich
