    Hello,

    I need to open a Popup On-unload and Netscape 7.0 and Mozilla is not displaying them. Is there any way to enable that?

    I need to perform some unlocking tasks when the user clicks the exit button.

    I have tried many ways but they all fail in those browsers (IE is O.K.). One of the ways (which fails) is below:

    <!--

    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Main Window</title>
    <script>
    function TheWindowIsBeingClosed()
    { window.open( "http://cnn.com ");
    }
    </script>
    </head>

    <body onunload=TheWindowIsBeingClosed()>

    </body>
    </html>

    -->

    Any help appreciated! Am I doing something wrong or is it just not allowed?

    Thanks!
    Stanley

    The reason would probably be because those two browsers have a setting that disables opening of unrequested windows. Pop-ups and pop-unders.

    The user would actually have to click on a link for the pop-up to work on browser or window close.
