I'm using a the confirmit java script function to redirect to a new url with a positive response. It doesn't do exactly what I want - and maybe I can't have exactly what I want.

Here's what it does - onunload, with a positive response it opens the new url in a new window, which can be blocked by a pop-up blocker without the user even knowing, giving the impression that nothing happened. When it does open the new URL it opens in a new window making the desktop crowded. Its just not a great solution.

What I want it to do - onunload I'd like it to open the new url in the same window and have it not be classified as a "pop-up" to be blocked. I tried switching to onbeforeunload.... nuthin.

Is there a simple solution?

here's my current code:

<script language=javascript>
function confirmit() 
{ 
var closeit= confirm("My message"); 
if (closeit == true) 
{window.open("http://MyDestinationURL");} 
else 
{window.close();} } window.onunload = confirmit  
</script>
