Javascript Pop Up Help!

[jmills]

Hey... I am a total newbie and Im looking for some quick help. I am trying to create a pop_up for when someone click a link to leave our site. Here is my current code:

function pop_up(){
win = window.open("exit.htm", "", "height=150,width=300", hotkeys="no");
}

The problem is that the message window opens under the window for the link which is also opening in a new window. I want the message window to open and come to the top. Is this possible.

Rather than open the link in a news window why not open it in the same window

function pop_up(){
var url = "http;//www.wiredeyes.com";
window.open("exit.htm", "", "height=150,width=300", hotkeys="no");
window.document.location.href=url;
}

However if you really need it you might be better off trying

function pop_up(){
var url1 = "http;//www.wiredeyes.com";
var url2 = "exit.htm";
window.open(url1)
window.open(url2, "", "height=150,width=300", hotkeys="no");
}

You might also need to add an

onLoad="window.focus();"

to you exit.htm file for good measure.

Pupups are blocked by most people, I suggest you don't use them.

onClick popups should be fine.
