Multiple onloads won't work

#1

I've read lots of posts about how to use multiple body onloads, but I
can't get it to work at all. I have a pop-up window that pops up
after about 20 seconds, but I also want an x-it pop window to popup
when they leave the site. I tried putting the semi-colon in several
different places, but the examples I find are all much more simple and
shorter. Can anyone please help? I would be so grateful.
Here's the 2 scripts I have within the <head> tags.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">


</script>

Here's the 2 onloads

<body onLoad="setTimeout('popupPage()', 7000);" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"
LEFTMARGIN="0" RIGHTMARGIN="0" MARGINWIDTH="0" MARGINHEIGHT="0"
TOPMARGIN="10" link="#cc0000" vlink="#dd3333">

<body onunload="xit()" bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000" leftmargin="0"
topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" link="#000099"
vlink="#006633" alink="#006633">

How do I combine the 2 onloads?

Thanks,

Well, my first suggestion - *please* don't do this. Any site that
magically creates pop-ups without warning immediately loses a
lot of credibility points, and tends to end up with lower traffic
than might otherwise be the case. If a user wants to leave your
site becuase of a link you have placed there, then let them go...

On the same page?? Well, the would be 2 <body> tags, which is not
correct HTML...

I know you can't have two body tags. There's some way to combine both
actions with the one body tag, by using a semi-colon in between the 2
call for actions, but I can't figure out exactly where to combine
these 2.

Given they're actually doing different things, then won't:

<body onLoad="setTimeout('popupPage()', 7000);" onunload="xit()"
bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000"
leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"
link="#000099" vlink="#006633" alink="#006633">

do the trick?

what your looking for is the OnClose Event to fire when the browser closes.
Just change your code to reflect the Event you want to fire.
