Determining wheter a window by window.open() is closed or not in javascript

Question

Is thee a way for Determining wheter a window by window.open() is closed or not in javascript? Following is a simple code for opening a window.

<script type="text/javascript">
var win = window.open("test.htm")
</script>

When some event is fired. a event handler should determine a window is still opened.

if ( /* is a window alive */ )
    alert("window is still alive!");
else
    alert("window was closed!");

This property indicates whether the referenced window is closed or not. [Read only].

The code provided for this question seem to be more complete than simply checking for closed: JavaScript window.open only if the window does not already exist
