BTW, is there a single JavaScript event to accomplish this? It would the complement of 'onLoad', something like 'onNavigate' or 'onLeave'....
It must be possible because for example on the CitibankOnline site, once you're logged in, whenever you point your browser to somewhere else (be it through a link on the currently displayed page or by typing a URL directly in the browser), the citibank page detects it and pops up a dialog. Maybe it's only possible in IE. Anyone knows?
