modules/system/html.tpl.php  puts out the outer most html for the page
(actually, this is where the page is finally rendered, with most of the
page in variables that it prints.

THIS IS CORE, DO NOT HACK IT.

It is possible that your hacking of it did not work because someone has
overridden it (search for other html.tpl.php files)

This template (and any overrides if it is allowed to be overridden) is
supposed to get the html tags to include scripts from the $scripts
global, which it will print out. A theme is supposed to add needed
scripts with a statement in its .info file like:
scripts[] = foo.js

Note also that you will need to clear caches after making changes or
they may not appear.

A quick google search find http://drupal.org/node/1073212 which has a
discussion of a similar issue.
