Question

Answer 1

Using jQuery:

var lastWindowWidth = $(window).width(),
    lastWindowHeight = $(window).height();

$(window).resize(function() {

    var newWindowWidth = $(window).width(),
        newWindowHeight = $(window).height();

    if( newWindowHeight > lastWindowHeight && newWindowWidth == lastWindowWidth ) {

        // Keyboard closed
        // ...

    }

    lastWindowWidth = newWindowWidth;
    lastWindowHeight = newWindowHeight;

});

Note that the window resize event (and thus the "Keyboard closed" comment block) may get called several times as the keyboard animates closed. Edit to suit your needs.
