I use the following code to open a new window with window.open and if somebody manually closes the window it will call the pause() function.

    <script type="text/javascript">

        var win = window.open("link.html", "thePopUp", "");
            var pollTimer = window.setInterval(function() {
if (win.closed !== false) { // !== is required for compatibility with Opera
    window.clearInterval(pollTimer);
    pause();
}
}, 200);

    </script>

BUT for that pause() function to work the user will need to be allowing popups for the window to first open and then to manually close it.

I would like the pause() function to be called if the window was never open in the first place so even if they aren’t allowing popups.

    Here is a demo:

    There are many options for this. Here are a couple jquery options:

    I hope this helps. Let me know if you need more of a hand.
