Redirect on exit from site

I want a better way than the default popup window that comes up when using window.onunload to redirect a user to another page in my site when they attempt to leave.

I have to tell that that is considered 'bad behavior' on the web.  If you try to 'kidnap' my browser that way, I will close the browser window to leave your site.  You might even end up on a 'malware' list for trying to kidnap users.

Actually all I want to do is refresh the page with a 10% off offer.  They can still leave after that.
What's wrong with the pop-up then?  Actually, you could make a delayed pop-up that offers them 10% off after 5 or 10 seconds.  That might encourage them to stay before they decided to leave.

I don't like the default popup window because it looks more like an error message than an informative message.  I wanted something that looked more professional.
