You're probably better off using the rendering or even the embedding features of the Table module, rather than trying to go the other way and use the HTML module to make a table.
However, speaking just in the context of using the HTML module to generate Javascript and CSS,
a) it could possibly be a XML syntax problem - are you escaping the "html" param's contents correctly, preferably by putting it in a CDATA block? If nothing loads properly it sounds like a wrench has been thrown into a relatively low level like this.
b) are there any Javascript errors evident in Tools > Error Console, or the equivalent in your browser? If so can you add them to your question above?
c) be aware that whenever a push hits an HTML module, the HTML module re-renders it's HTML. This can have unwanted effects when the HTML module is embedding javascript, as runtime values can be unexpectedly clobbered as they get reinitialized. Sometimes a simple solution is to put the script safely upstream at a point that will never receive any "push", and keep the dynamic html parts in another HTML module further downstream.
