exitpop script

thanks for all your help guys.
Got a few options there.
I will give them all a go and see which suits best.

Sorry I wasn't more descriptive at the start.

Cheers

Welcome, Dingo. If you're looking for a link on your page that once clicked asks to be your homepage, just look at Google's homepage code (towards the bottom). It doesn't get more simple than that. I use something similar on www.FreeWho.com.

Code:

<script>
if (!hp.isHomePage('http://www.freewho.com/'))
   {
     document.write("<br><a 
       href=\"http://www.freewho.com/index.php\" 
       onClick=\"style.behavior='url(#default#homepage)';
       setHomePage('http://www.freewho.com/');\">
       <b>Make FreeWho.com Your Homepage!</b></a>");
   }
</script>

This basically shows the link if you are using IE. If you aren't, it shows nothing. I think the code brn2h8's code does all the extra validation and puts up alternate directions for other browsers, but I'd skip the extra directions personally and make my page load a tad quicker...

Sorry, I just tested the code, and it DOES require more. I oversimplified the scripting earlier for getting a "HomePage set?" request to happen as a function working in an "onunload" script.

Use the following code to do what you originally requested in your first message.

Code:

<html xmlns:ie>
<style>
@media all {
 IE\:HOMEPAGE{behavior:url(#default#homepage)}
}
</style>
<head>
<title>Default Home Page</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor=#ffffff text=#000000 
 onunload="oHomePage.setHomePage('http://www.example.com/');">
<ie:homepage id=oHomePage />

TEST TEST TEST

</body>
</html>

Note that you need to set the xml namespace in the <HTML> tag, as well as include an extra XML tag in your body.

Best Regards,

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

I agree completely izopod!
popups/under are bad business!

Cheers!

Actually Mud I agree now too. It was exactly what I was looking for but after setting it up and trying it it even pi**ed me off so I ditched it. Still appreciate the help guys.
