[Javascript] Alert user when leaving site

Fri Sep 9 18:06:49 CDT 2005

Here's at least part of the answer. Using the "unload" event (set to  
body), you can get the current URL using JavaScript:

<html>
<head>
<meta content="text/html; charset=windows-1252" http-equiv=Content-Type>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

function checkDomain() {
     var currentURL = location.href;

     protocolIndex = currentURL.indexOf("://");
     serverIndex = currentURL.indexOf("/", protocolIndex + 4);
     urlResult = currentURL.substring(protocolIndex+3, serverIndex);

     alert(urlResult);
}

</script>
</head>
<body onunload="checkDomain();">

<a href="http://www.yahoo.com/">Leave</a>

</body>
</html>

Clicking the link will popup an alert with the domain in it. What has  
to be done is try to compare this string to the destination domain. I  
have no idea how to do this automatically, but you could modify my  
function to add it to every link in the page and add an destURL  
argument to compare (this could be done automatically by scanning the  
DOM for every <a> element and adding events to each of theses).
