I want to show survey in pop-up window when users leaves page.
So I want to leave page only when he answers all the questions of survey and/or close the pop-up window... How can I do that?
I try this code
$(document).ready(function () {
function exitpop() {
my_window = window.open("http://www.google.com", "mywindow1", "status=off,toolbar=off,location=off,menubar=off,directories=off,resizable=off,scrollbars=off,height=800,width=800");
});
}
$(window).unload(function () {
exitpop();
});
});
But it blocks by majority of browsers and don't pause clicked action(going to other page or closing the window).
What is the best way to do that?
Try Using window.onbeforeunload event ..
have an idea from the follow code snippet. i am using this type of code to confirm use to before leaving the page.. means either it is close tab or refresh the page...
But you have to track when it is refresh or close.. both means same to beforeunload..
you can't use directly use them either unload or beforeunload- they do not differ between window close, Try this may be it will work according to your requirements.
http://docs.jquery.com/Events/unload#fn
jQuery:
$(window).unload( function () { alert("Bye now!"); } );
or javascript:
window.onunload = function(){alert("Bye now!");}

Is it necessary to make users fill out a survey? If not, then you could replace the contents of the body so the user sees it in the background.
var done = 0;
window.onbeforeunload = function() {
if (done != 1) {
done = 1;
document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].innerHTML = "new content goes here";
return "Howdy there. Why don't you stick around for a moment and take our survey?";
}
}
