What type of popup? The use of onbeforeunload is limited. It basically will just provide a way for a "confirm" type alert to appear. You can specify the message so this may be all you need but if you mean a popup window or some element then you won't be able to do this.
If the alert/confirm is what you want then specify the message like ...
window.onbeforeunload = function() { return "Are you sure you want to go?"; };
Let me know if you have a question.

It needs to open a popup with survey(so people can select why they leave the mid-order process. So it needs to be shown when user clicks on exit button or when trying to go(browse) to another site without finishing order procedure.

if its not possible to open new popup window, i guess i will have to use onbeforeunload, but then how can i check if user is trying to leave to another domain and show the alert? If they just try to browse to another page of my site, then i should display the aert dialog box.

thanks
