You don't create a object:

var myWindow;


function myFunction() {
    myWindow = window.open("organization.php", "_blank", "toolbar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,top=200,left=500,width=600,height=300");
}

function closeFunction(){

    myWindow.close();


}

For security reasons, JavaScript can only close windows that were opened originally in JavaScript.

Your window.opener.open('','_self',''); line seems to be some kind of hack to trick the browser into thinking the window was opened by JS, so while it may work in some browsers there's no reason for it to work in all of them.

you must give him a name and not null.

window.open("Default.aspx", "aaaa", "resizable=no,scrollbars=false,channelmode=yes,titlebar=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no");
