If the window has a NAME, you can create a handle using window.open:

var winC = window.open("","winC");

will give you a pointer to a window called "winC" without changing what's in the window. If no window by that name exists (maybe the user closed it), it will open a new blank window.

If b was opened from a then you can access c page otherwise no.
