How to use window.opener for using the functions from .js included in the parent page

Question

For exemple, in the parent page

<script src="js/test.js"></script>

and then we use window.open to open page 2, so in page 2, how do we use window.opener for calling functions in the test.js?

@putvande I used 'try{ if(parent.window.opener != null && !parent.window.opener.closed) { parent.window.opener.testCall(); } }catch(e){ alert(e.description);' But get a undefined error. It maybe works only for the functions defined directely in the parent page not js/test.js ??? — DONG, Jun 16 '14 at 12:24
