The Book of JavaScript, 2nd Edition

window

The window object is either a browser window or a frame. Many methods of the window object have been listed in this appendix already. Those are left out of the description of the window object.

Properties

closed

FF, IE 4

Read-only: true if a window has been closed and false if it is still open. The window referenced is generally created using the window.open() method.

Example:

if (my_window.closed == false)
{
    my_window.location = "http://www.hits.org";
}

This example makes sure the window named my_window has not been closed before sending a visitor to http://www.hits.org.
