According to the standards, the second parameter should default to _blank if it is omitted, but all browsers might not follow that. Specify the target so that you know that it really opens in a new window and doesn't replace the current window:

window.open("childWindow.html", "_blank");

I guess what you would like to do is parent.window.opener:

    if(parent.window.opener != null && ! parent.window.opener)
    {
      parent.window.opener.test1();
    }

Hope this helps.
