I have a parent window called A. A opens a child window called B. B then opens a new window on to its self, call it B2. I need to get to a function on A from B2.

B window:


<INPUT TYPE="button" NAME="myButton" VALUE="Next" onClick=" opener.AddIcnPopUp(\'icnwizpart=\' + partnumber.value + \'&icnwizqty=none\')">

B1 window


<INPUT TYPE="button" NAME="myButton" VALUE="Next" onClick=" (****WHAT CAN I PUT HERE****).AddIcnPopUp(\'icnwizpart=\' + partnumber.value + \'&icnwizqty=\' + qty.value)">

A window:


<INPUT TYPE="button" NAME="myButton" VALUE="Next" onClick=" AddIcnPopUp(\'icnwizpart=\' + partnumber.value + \'&icnwizqty=none\')">
<script>
function AddIcnPopUp(varstring)
{
 URL = 'http://www.(MYSITE).com/poem/po/PurchQ3.php?' + varstring ;
 window.open(URL,"AddIcnPopUp","'toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=400,height=100'");
}
</script>

I believe that the opener function returns a reference to a window object. Therefore use opener twice:

var winA=window.opener.opener;

I may have spoke too soon. This did not work, but I think it is becasue I overwrite B with B2

If B2 opens in itself, you should not need to use a window.open call... Instead, use location.href. Then you can use window.opener as normal.

You might find something like this easier to maintain:
