disabling exit pop with window redirect

[dombrorj]

I have an exit popup script on a landing page that redirects the user to another URL with an "Are you sure you want to leave" alert box when the user tries to X out of the window. This works fine.

 

On the same page I also have the following to redirect the page after a certain time...

window.setTimeout('window.location="nextpage.php"; ',6000);}

 

The problem I'm running into is that when the page redirects, it triggers the exit pop. I disable this function with clickable links on the page by using...

<a href="link.html" onClick="window.onbeforeunload=null;" />

 

I can't quite figure out how to integrate that line of code with my redirect script to disable the exit pop. Any suggestions on how this could be accomplished?

 

Thanks!

window.setTimeout('window.onbeforeunload="null"; window.location="nextpage.php"; ',6000);}
