I should have been more explicit - I'm trying to detect when a user leaves my site so they can randomly be asked if they would like to take a customer satisfaction survey.
the answers I have found so far all involve setting a flag to prevent an onUnload function from running when you follow internal links on the site. the easiest way I found was to do this:
<body onUnLoad="survey();" onMouseDown="flag();">
so that the survey is only run when a user leaves the URL. the only down side is this only seems to work in v6 browsers, but I dont want to add the js to every single link so I don't have much choice
