Popunder when site is closed

Question

Is there a way to get a popunder code when someone closes a site? I've searched on Google, but couldn't find a way or an answer.

Basically: user no longer wants to stay on a particular website, he it's close button ("x" button) and a popunder appears.

Have you looked into the `unload` event? Also, don't do this... Unless you are helping people keep local changes to a page, don't be low and serve an ad. — evolutionxbox, Apr 16 '16 at 17:32
While this is possible I have two problems with this question. One, your Google search must have been very cursory. Two, this is an annoying thing to do to a user. — HeadCode, Apr 16 '16 at 17:34
So, have you looked into the unload event? Or used google? Also, what's a *popunder*? — evolutionxbox, Apr 16 '16 at 17:35
I might not be a good Google searcher, I'm trying to help a person out with this code. — El Patron, Apr 16 '16 at 17:36
Seriously though. Have you googled the unload JS event? I'm pretty sure that is what you need to get started. — evolutionxbox, Apr 16 '16 at 17:39
Thank you for your suggestion evolutionxbox. I'm looking into it. — El Patron, Apr 16 '16 at 17:41

            window.onbeforeunload = function(event) {
            var message = 'Important: Please click on \'Save\' button to leave this page.';
            if ( typeof event == 'undefined') {
                event = window.event;
            }
            if (event) {
                event.returnValue = message;
            }
            return message;
        };

        $(function() {
            $("a").not('#lnkLogOut').click(function() {
                window.onbeforeunload = null;
            });
            $(".btn").click(function() {
                window.onbeforeunload = null;
            });
        });

First of all, don't give a jQuery answer when the question doesn't mention that they're using jQuery. Secondly, which part of this creates the popunder? – JJJ Apr 16 '16 at 17:51
