    Abstract: A method and system to display a pop-up window when a user leaves a website are disclosed. A user accesses a website with a web browser. When a web page from the website is loaded into the user's browser, a client-side variable is set to a particular value, such as the current time. When the web page from the website is unloaded from the browser, a hidden pop-up window is loaded. The hidden pop-up window is programmed to sleep and then check the value of the client-side variable. A change in the value of the client-side variable indicates a new web page from the same web server has been loaded into the web browser and the user has not left the website. However, if a web page from a different web server is loaded into the browser, then the value of the client-side variable remains unchanged. Consequently, when the hidden pop-up window awakes and checks the value of the client-side variable, the pop-up window can determine whether the user has left the original website. If the user has left the original website, the pop-up window is displayed. If not, the pop-up window is unloaded before ever being displayed to the user.

    Abstract: A method and system to display a graphical user interface based on a detected value are disclosed. The system sets a client-side variable to a value responsive to a client device loading data from a server. A graphical user interface is loaded, by the system, onto the client device. The graphical user interface is configured to remain hidden for a predetermined length of time. A detection is made, by the system, that the value of the client-side variable remains unchanged after the predetermined length of time. In some instances, the value of the client-side variable is preserved responsive to the client device loading further data from a further server. The graphical user interface is displayed based on the detection the value of the client-side variable remains unchanged.
