[epub] Re: pop-up problem

[Ravi Jayagopal <Ravi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The only way to do it is this:
(very cumbersome, but it's the only way)

Your pop-up code should be put in a function
that pop's the page if a variable
"exit = true";

When your form is submitted, using the onClick
function, set "exit = false";

That way, when the form is submitted, "exit"
will be false, and the pop-up will not get
popped-up.

But if some other link is clicked, or
even if the browser window is closed,
then exit will be true (set that as default)
and the pop-up will get popped up.

Hope I managed to confuse you enough ;-)
