one thing you should use to debug this is netscape!

type in
javascript:
in the url field
gets you the javascript debugger
it should tell you what the error is
in a much clearer way than ie and/or visualdev would

one thing:
you dont need the
javascript:
if the javascript function is in the html file {or perl output}
aka
onmouseover=pop('Avaerage lenght of game played','#CCCCCC')

also you might notice the semi colon after your dbl quote
thats not right and since your only using one
function , in javascript you dont need that semi colon

here is your code reworked and running:
<html>
<head>
<script>
function kill()
{
alert('kill');
}

function pop (text, color)
{
alert (text +" "+ color);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="js.html" ONMOUSEOVER="pop('Avaerage lenght of game played','#
+CCCCCC')" ONMOUSEOUT="kill()">AVERAGE</a>
</body>
</html>

always try to build a flat file to test javascripts
before inserting them into perl code
hope that helps
