handling window.closed

[brucegonewild]

This must be super easy for you javascript wizards! here's my code:

var myHandle = window.open(url);
if (myHandle.closed)
{
   alert("aloha");
}

Just a note, myHandle is a local function variable.
Is there an onClosed event that I can handle? Any help is much apreciated!!

What is this part supposed to do?

var myHandle = window.open(url);
if ([!]myHandle.closed[/!])
{
   alert("aloha");
}

Are you basically trying to say "alert aloha when the popup window is closed"?

If so, you have to assign an onunload handler to the url you pop up. I'm pretty sure that if it's on a domain other than the parent page that you will not be able to modify the contents of the popup window.
