I am using the following javascript to open another window and I want to check if that window is actually open, but then I want it to call a "pause()" function if the window is not open. I have no clue how to do this even after 3 days of researching, can anybody guide me with this?

The javascript to open the window:

    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.2.6/jquery.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            var windowSizeArray = ["width=300,height=300",
                                    "width=200,height=400,scrollbars=yes"];

            $(document).ready(function () {
                $('#newWindow').click();
                window.open($('#newWindow').attr('href'), 'window name', 'window settings')
                $('.newWindow').click(function (event) {

                    var url = $(this).attr("href");
                    var windowName = "popUp"; //$(this).attr("name");
                    var windowSize = windowSizeArray[$(this).attr("rel")];

                    window.open(url, windowName, windowSize);

                    event.preventDefault();

                });
            });
           
           
        </script>

If that window is not open I want it to call a pause function:

    <a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="pause();"><img name="b1" src="system/modules/surf/stop.png" border="0" alt="Pause" title="Pause" style="position:absolute;top:28px;margin-left:5px"></a>

Somebody replied with:

The function window.open() returns a handle to your newly created window, which has a closed property. This property is true if the new window has been closed:

var popuphandle=window.open(...);
alert(popuphandle.closed);
If you need to monitor the status of the window continuously, use window.setInterval():

window.setInterval(function()
{
    if (popuphandle.closed) pause();
}, 1000);

But I have no clue how to add that in, would you be able to help me please?

Please close, I got it on my own, pm me if you want the code.
