Pass window object across pages

Question

Page A will open Page B, Page B will open Page C. Once Page C is loaded, close Page A.

In Page A, open up Page B :

var newWindowChild; 
$("#submitButton").click(function () {                                             newWindowChild = window.open('about:blank', 'TheNewWindow');
});

in Page C, how can i close Page A ? Is that possible to pass the newWindowChild across the pages from Page A to Page C, and do something like this? :

window.close(newWindowChild);

You could use Web Worker to achieve that. Below you can find a nice tutorial explaining how to use it.

-Page C can postMessage "Page A Close"

-Page A can listen to the above Message and trigger window.close()
