<p>Ok, this is my situation - I'd like my user to start a download automatically when they land on my page, which I had this code:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;body onload="document.getElementById('download').click()"&gt;
&lt;a id="download" href="http://www.website.com/file.zip" style="display:none;"&gt;Download&lt;/a&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>This works.</p>

<p>However the problem is that, I have another script at the bottom that executes a popup message when the user tries to leave the page as follows:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;script language="javascript"&gt;
var exitsplashalertmessage = '***************************************\n\n         &gt; &gt; &gt; W A I T &lt; &lt; &lt;\n\n     CLICK THE ***CANCEL*** BUTTON\n    on the NEXT Window for Something\n             VERY Special!\n\n***************************************';
var exitsplashmessage = '***************************************\n\n W A I T   B E F O R E   Y O U   G O !\n\n  CLICK THE *CANCEL* BUTTON RIGHT NOW\n     TO STAY ON THE CURRENT PAGE.\n\n I HAVE SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL FOR YOU!\n\n***************************************';
var exitsplashpage = 'http://www.website.com/more';
&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;script language="javascript" src="http://www.website.com/exitsplash.php"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>And the problem now is that, the download file works fine, but the exitsplash doesn't execute.</p>

<p>I have been told that I need to "onUnload" the code in the  ... but how can I do this?</p>

<p>Anyone, any ideas?</p>

<p>Thank you</p>
