title: Detect Closed Tab in Base App
body: <p>Is there a way in jQuery that I can detect a closed tab in my base app and make it refresh the page?</p>
  
  <p>I built a ticketing system. When you click a ticket, it uses target="_blank" to open the ticket in a new tab. When you update a ticket (and only when you do so), and then click "Close  Tab" link, I would like the main app (the previous tab) to recognize this event and automatically refresh the page.</p>
  
  <p>I know that I can use window.open() and then detect a closed handle on a loop, but it's inelegant because on the IEs it doesn't open in a new tab sometimes and instead opens a new window. With target="_blank", I think I'm seeing that the IEs open a new tab. I prefer tabs.</p>
