Popup window on exit. Cookie controlled javascript

I know, I know....we hate them.
Personally I do think popups have their place. For example, they can be very handy in getting a subscriber to your newsletter at the very last minute. It works the same way as candy at the supermarket checkout. You were not going to buy candy, but since they were there you grabbed one anyway. Why not =)

Here are a couple of tips which can make yours work better than the average popup...

1. It's a good idea to make it come up on exit so visitors are not immediately hit with it.

2. Have it controlled with a cookie so that visitors get it just once within any single day, no matter how many times they exit your page. This is especially important if you are going to add a popup to your site to try and entice more opt-in subscribers to your newsletters,

I highly suggest you set it up like that. Otherwise popups can be aggravating and counterproductive.

Popup script on exit

First you need to make up a new wepage, with a simple message you want the popup on exit window to contain. For example, I have made one for this page about joining my newsletter which you will see when exiting this page.

The script below is controlled by a cookie, so your visitors are not hassled everytime they leave your page. You can set the number of days the cookie should last by editing the 3rd line. You will also need to change the width, height and page name attributes in lines 4 and 5 to suit.

Place this script straight after the body tag in your html:

You will then need to add a body OnUnLoad within the beginning of your body tag like so:
