onLoad="showdate()"
</body>

But i did close the head and the body was also opened and closed, where actually are you referring to?
 
Last couple of lines should be:
</script>
</head>
<body>
<CENTER><span id="clock" onLoad="showdate()"></span></CENTER><BR>
</body>
</html>

And not:
</script>
<body>
<CENTER><span id="clock"></span></CENTER><BR>
onLoad="showdate()"
</body>
</head>
</html>

[COLOR="red"]onLoad="showdate()"[/COLOR]
onload="showdate()" should be inside an element. Try:
Code: 
<CENTER><span id="clock" onLoad="showdate()"></span></CENTER><BR>

Click to expand...

Yes you did close them, but you did it wrong. You closed the body, then the head. So in short you placed the body in the head. That is wrong.

Code: 
<html>

<body> CONTENT </body>
