The whole thing is just messed up. You've got the whole basic structure wrong - you don't want multiple <html>, <body> and <head>. Additionally you've got multiple unclosed tags and some tags are just totally incomplete. I think you need to start again from the basics and get the proper structure right to start with.

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>This is where the title of the page goes</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>This is a header</h1>
<p>Here is some misc. text</p>
</body>
</html>

That is just a really basic page. Note I've not opened multiple <html>, <body> or <head> tags and I've closed all the tags. Also I've placed the title of the page in the appropriate element.

Was told u need it every new script

What do you mean every script? HTML is a markup language, nothing to do with scripting/programming. Regardless, clearly what you have been told is wrong. In a single webpage you don't have multiple <html>, <body> and <head> tags.

</body>
</html> ?

Look at the example I posted above, I only open <html> and close (</html>) it once. Nested in <html> I only have one <body> and <head> block.

First of all, what is your first language? Because your English is quite poor. Secondly, the <html> tag just defines that it's a HTML document, therefore you only need it once. You also use the <body> tag once because well, a webpage with more than one body just wouldn't make sense, would it?

Like the above said, HTML isn't a scripting language so whoever told you this obviously doesn't know what he/she is doing.

Because the body is everything you see on the screen (bar the title in the window/tab) you don't have multiple screens for each bit of your website do you?

And in reply to above, if English isn't his first language then he might assume that a HTML document is called a script.

If I remember correctly, you're not supposed to put content in the head tags hence why you can do <body style = "css"> but not <head style = "css">. Also rather then repeating the styles, just embed some CSS seperately within the head tags as shown.

Code:

<html>
<body>

<head>
<title>This displays on the tab</title>
<style type = "text/css">
<!-- style rules can go here -->
</style>
</head>

<body style="background-color:yellow;">
<h2 style ="background-color:red;">of code is memorable</h2>
