Identify window is closed using javascript

Question

I have following link in my frame, this will open as new window, I want to know the open window is close or not, because I need to clear a cookie when user close the window.

<a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask" target="_blank">study plan new wndow</a>

Is that the real link ? i.e. Are you opening a page you own/control/can modify or is the link pointing to the outside world ? — Alex

This link is SSO logging link, its redirect to some 3rd party page — KRR

Do you want to be able to tell if the window is still open, or do you want to react when it is closed? They're two very different things. — Reinstate Monica Cellio

That changes the potential answers, you should include the real code — Alex

OR
