Hi all
I've got a problem about onbeforeunload recently that I need to pop up a voting page when users try to close their IE browsers.I did it by using:
<body onbeforeunload="makevote()">
And the main structure of makevote() in javascript is as follows:
function makevote()
{
comet.distruct();
if(csid != null && isvote == null)
{
window.event.returnValue = false
window.event.returnValue='press “cancel” to vote please！'
showComDiv(popvote,"popiframe",400,120,'your vote here','dovote()');
}
}
In last three months this voting function performed so ugly that I got only less than 8,000 votes from more than 4,50,000 vistors.I think the problem is, when the users try to close their browsers,the onbeforeunload property pops up a comfirm box which covered my voting box while most users click the OK button,which means close comfirming is done,as a habit.So my question is how can I control the comfirming box made by onbeforeunload myself? For example if I click the "OK" ,I'll go to the voting box instead of closing my IE.So far what I can do is only defining the message it shows.And is there any other better way to do this?Help would be greatly appreciated!
Regards
