I have a exit popup on my site and when some people come to my site from like yahoo or google i don't want those people to get the popup is there a way to put urls in the Java script so it will know not to open a exit window when the referring url is google or yahoo?

If Java script can't do it what can?

Thanks

Thanks This should be in the Programming Discussion Forum, but to answer your question, you should be able to do it with some php code. For example if refer doesn't = google or yahoo then do the pop-up...

Yes, but how are you supposed to activate the script when the visitor leaves the site? :eek: You'll need a client-side scripting language to do that.

Check out www.javascriptsource.com; I'm sure you'll find something. :D

Check out www.javascriptsource.com; I'm sure you'll find something. :D You can still do it, to show the javascript or not would be decided before the user even saw the page. php=serverside.

can be done on the client side too using document.referrer

something like...

<script>
if (document.referrer != "http://yahoo.com")
{
// your popup code here
}
</script>

you may need to manipulate the document.referrer string to extract the "yahoo.com" bit...

experiment :)

I don't know anything about java script so i can't experiment :(
