Solution 1

On the 'onbeforeunload' javascript event, call the javascript function which will show/display the div to the user. It will work for sure

Solution 2

give your div a id such as "kas" then write this code in java script

XML

<script type="text/javascript">
    window.onbeforeunload = function() 
{ 
   document.getElementById('kas').style.visibility = 'visible';
}
</script>

but keep in mind that you will not be able to see that div becouse page will close itself right after displaying that div until you diplays any alert box or stops page from unloading

Exactly Mr Atiq.. So the div displayed must be a modal.. Best way a alert or confirm dialog from javascript should be used instead of a div......My +4
