Hello,

it was a few years since I used javascript but for a study i want to use a javascript function, which opens a new window to launch questions for the users, who leave the homepage.

When this function is called on unload, the alert (to test the function) pops up, but the window doesn't - both with IE and FF (although in IE it works locally on my computer !?!):

FF tells me "winout is null winout.focus();"

Here's the code from js-File:



and HTML page:





Thanks in advance.

Chris

Modern day browsers block any pop up that is not initiated by a user.
