Make people stay

Example

The below JavaScript will make the user currently visiting the site stay on the web page by giving a message to how long they visited the particular web site as well as opening a new window.

We have mainly placed this script on Computer Hope to look at the source code for ideas for other possible JavaScript and do not recommend anyone placing this script on their pages as this irritates the viewers of your web pages.

In addition, as an example, we have placed this code into this page and for you to do the same you must include this into the beginning of your web page within your head tags, as well as ending the page with the </body>, once completed.

Source code

<head><script language="JavaScript">

// This script was written by Kurt A>
//http://www.geocities.com/soho/lofts/1238
// I only ask that you leave this plug to my page if you use the script.
// It worked for me, If it works for anyone else ----- I can't say.
// It times the user for a page and gives a response dependant on the
// duration of the visit to the page.
// It doesn't work well with the #links because anytime a back button
//is hit the script will envoke itself.

var STS = 0;
var ETS = 0;
var TIMON = 0;

function getStime() {

// optional audio welcome
// location = "welcome.au";

now = new Date();

STS = (now.getTime());

// optional.
// changes the window status bar at bottom of page return true must remain

window.status = "I hope you enjoy"; return true ;

}

function figure() {

// code to get seconds from logon to logoff

postnow = new Date();

ETS = (postnow.getTime());

TIMEON = ((ETS - STS) / 1000);

// if less than 60 seconds

if (TIMEON < 60) {

// open an alert box and plead with user

alert ( TIMEON + " Seconds, Give it a chance");

// open a new window to play an audio plea.

win = window.open ("under.au","newwin");

}

else {
alert (TIMEON + "Thanks for reading");
win=window.open("http://www.computerhope.com","newwin");

}

return true;
}
</script>
