Exit Pop-Ups And Paypal Buttons

Allen Lewis · 07-05-2009, 08:28 PM

Hi Warriors,

I'm including an exit pop-up on my page. Trouble is, I also have a Paypal order button on the page and when I click on it, the exit pop-up comes up as well.

The exit pop-up is for offering a special deal, so naturally I don't want it to come up when customers click the Paypal order button.

Is there a way to make the pop-up not work when someone clicks on the order button?

I have tried the code onclick="exit=false" but it doesn't seem to work on these Paypal buttons.

These days I just have an upsell page that comes up before going directly to PayPal.

I found an old web page I used before and it had the "exit=false" after the "POST" like this:

<form action="https*//www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="POST"
onClick="setcookie('safeexit', 'yes' ,1);"

Try it and see if that works.

You can either open the payment link in a new window or find another site that uses the same popup and examine their code.
