You probably don't actually need tables for this, and PHP would serve better than Javascript.But answering your specific question: put your Javascript outside the table element and access it. I'll simplify your Javascript to not take up so much space.

<table class="one"><tr></tr><tr><td id="weekday"></td></tr></table><script type="text/javascript">var weekdays = ["Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday"];var d = new Date();document.getElementById("weekday").innerHTML = weekdays[d.getDay()];</script>

Here's how I'd do it with PHP and without tables:

<div class="one"><?php echo date("l"); ?></div>
