in fact, i want know whether the opened window has been closed.

if the window closed, how can i know?

at IE , window.focus() will throw a exception.

but at Firefox, if you closed the window, the var 'win' still is the opened 
window object, it seems not judge the window is exist or not.

No JS Console messages here either. You can use win.closed to check if the
window was closed.
