How to capture the close event of an opened window by window.open() in JavaScript?

This JavaScript code works well for me:

var newwindow = window.open("/newwindow.html");
newwindow.onbeforeunload = function () {
    // processing event here
    alert("new window closed");
}

Note that after the callback function is executed, the newwindow is closed.
