<input type="text">
<button onclick="OpenNewWindowEntityForm()">View</button>
<script>
function OpenNewWindowEntityForm() {
var windowOptions = {
openInNewWindow: false // You can open in a new window . False means its just redrect to new form
};
var parameters = {}; // You can pass parameter also
// parameters["name"] = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("name").getValue(); // pass parameter getting from current account attribute
// parameters["accountnumber"] = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("accountnumber").getValue();// pass parameter getting from current account attribute
window.parent.Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm("account", null, parameters, windowOptions); // Open new creation form
}
</script>

Hi Jane,
As Mahender and Wei pointed out, you need to add parent to access Xrm.Utility from web resource.
Other than that, I think you've got something a little tricky here. I tried to test your code, after clicking the button the whole web resource disappear and open() function is never called.
After further inspecting DOM, all content under web resource (including other text, label etc) is flushed out like this , once the button is clicked, same as in Chrome and Firefox. Suspected the open function get called is document.open() instead of open() in the code, I changed the function name and it started working. Please see the part changed highlighted:
<html>
<head>
<meta>
<meta>
</head>
<body style='word-wrap: break-word;'>
<button type="button" onclick="openaccount()">View</button>
<script type="text/javascript"> function openaccount() { parent.Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm("account"); } </script>
</body>
</html>

Check here for parameters and samples for Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm.

Also, for best practice and avoid this kind of problem, you can try to start using namespace in js code and extract them into separate js file for code reusability, like this:
var myAbcOrg = {
foo: function() {
}
};
//call with
myAbcOrg.foo();
