You can put a <script> within a td or th, but not directly within any other 
table elements (see http://aamcf.co.uk/html/transitional/script.html). [1]

I'm not sure that JavaScript is the correct solution to the problem though. 
The information you are writing with the JavaScript isn't going to change 
very often (is it?) so it might be better to write it as a plain vanilla 
static HTML page. This would certainly make the whole thing simpler for the 
end user, and it would probably be more future proof as well (and it would 
have better sideways and backwards compatibility).
