Body OnUnload ASP.NET Postback question

[Bishop]

I want to display an exit web page when someone closes a web page from they're
browser. Looks like I can do this with JavaScript and the Body OnUnload tag
but it kicks off with a post back. Any tricks to preventing this from
kicking off on post back and only when closing the browser?

You can check whether or not a user is closing the browser down:

button

You can also check if a user is leaving your site, hitting the back button,
etc. I don't have links for these.

You then code these checks and only if they are true do you show the exit
page.

NOTE: If this is not an Intranet, you are going to piss a lot of people off
if you stop the browser from shutting down until they read your page.

That's the salient point here. In my experience, people will never
return to a site which does this to them...

I am waiting for the "I want to make dozens of pop ups when someone tries
to leave my site conversation. ;-0
