Before you put a pop-under on your site, ask yourself this question: Do I like going to other sites where I'm asked if I want to alter my browser homepage selection??? My personal belief on pop-ups/unders is that they hurt more than help, unless you have a porn site where you'd almost expect them.

Either way, that was nice of brn2h8 to give you that script.

I didn't read your thread properly. The previous script is for exit popup's, not popups requesting bookmarks. Below is that script:

Remember to edit the URL and title...

Actually I think dingo was wanting a pop-up up that asked if you wanted to make the page your homepage.... not to bookmark it.

Here is a place I go to get scripts:

hmmm, just saw they added a new one: A "right click" menu option:

Nah, you were just trying to help. I am going to throw some DNF your way for the trouble. I may use the bookmark script on one of my sites.

[Dingo]

yeah good idea

DNF$20 on the way to each of you.

Thanks

Thanks guys...

The only homepage scripts that I have are below:

1. Click link to make homepage
2. Auto homepage - no popups though

If you're interested in these, please let me know. I would have to upload the auto homepage script.

brn

does the homepage script have a "yes or no" option or just "ok"

 

[dmyre]

I believe the the link to make homepage asks "yes or no", but the auto page doesn't ask crap. It will just change their default page without even asking them. This makes alot of people mad, since alot of users don't even know how to change their homepage...

Yeah I certainly don't want the auto one.
I am interested in the opt in opt out one though.
How can I get this from you?

Fortunately, the browser I use (Mozilla) ignores sites that attempt to get it to change the browser startup page, so such attempts have no effect here.

Unless there is a BUG, there is NO WAY for Javascript to automatically make another page your homepage in IE. There is a method that puts up a box that asks you YES or NO, but that is all. If "automatic" homepage resetting was an option, everyone would do it.

Also, Dingo, your original question seemed a little odd. You said: "popunder on exit "do you want to make this your home page" box? yes or no." You're probably looking for an alert box, and not a "pop-under", especially if you're just looking for "yes/no".

Here are some basics:
1. To create an action as a user LEAVES a page, you need to use "onunload" as an attribute of your "body" tag. So, for example, it would look like this:

<html>
<body bgcolor="white" 
      text="black" onunload="alert();">
My Page Text
</body>
</html>

The code above creates a blank "alert" box.

2. Now, you can do one of two things. #1. Ask a user if they want to make your page their homepage. #2. Ask a user if they they would like to bookmark your site (and then do it if they say "yes").

The code to ask a user if they'd like to make someone's page their homepage is this simple javascript command: "setHomePage('http://www.sample.com/mypage.html');" So, if you wanted, you can combine the "onunload" attribute with the "setHomePage" function. Note: This function is only in IE.

<html>
<body bgcolor="white" 
  text="black" 
  onunload="setHomePage('http://www.sample.com/');">
My Page Text
</body>
</html>

So, this gets you what you want. If you want to do the bookmark thing, its a little more complicated if you're asking first. If you want to force them to decide by "cancelling" the "add bookmark" dialogue, just replace the "setHomePage" function with this: "window.external.window.external.AddFavorite('http://www.sample.com/mypage.html','Title of Link')"

Example:

<html>
<body bgcolor="white" 
   text="black" 
   onunload="window.external.AddFavorite(
    'http://www.sample.com/',
    'Title of Link');">
My Page Text
</body>
</html>

Now you can ruin someone's browsing experience with conviction! Just kidding.

This code hasn't really been tested, but you shouldn't run into any problems.

Here's the code to make a link requesting your users to change their default page. Just copy this code into the body of your HTML document where you would like the text link to be.

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!-- Startpage script

var s_url="http:/www.yourwebsite.com";
var s_mouseo="Startpage";
var s_text="Make Us Your Homepage";
var s_nn="To startpage:\n1.) Go to Edit\n2.) Go to Preferences...\n3.) Choose Navigator\n4.) Write "+ (s_url) +" in the home page location field";
var s_op="To startpage:\n1.) Go to Navigation\n2.) Go to Set home page...\n3.) Write "+ (s_url) +" in the Global home page field";
var s_other="Unable to startpage";

// do not edit below this line
if ((navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer") && (parseInt(navigator.appVersion) >= 4)) {
document.write('<a href="javascript:void(0);" ');
document.write('onclick="this.style.behavior=');
document.write("'url(#default#homepage)'");
document.write("; this.setHomePage(s_url);");
document.write('" onmouseover="window.status=');
document.write("(s_mouseo); return true");
document.write('">'+ s_text +'</a>'); }
else if (navigator.appName == "Netscape") {
document.write('<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="alert(s_nn);">'+ s_text +'</a>'); }
else if (navigator.appName == "Opera") {
document.write('<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="alert(s_op);">'+ s_text +'</a>'); }
else {
document.write(""+ s_other +""); }
// do not edit above this line -->
</script>
<noscript>Unable to startpage</noscript>
