What do search engines make of Javascript in a web page?

Does anyone know the answer to this?  Or is there a good tutorial anyone knows of? 

I have just done a keyword search of a site I am developing and because the google maps pointers are all there repeated umpteen times, "onmouseover" and other such are coming out as high ranking words (above the content).  Since my site is not about coding, I don't want it to appear in a search for "onmouseover"!  Surely Google and other search engines ignore what is between the <script> tags.  Or do they?

As always, grateful for any pointers.

That's what I thought.  I was using a "keyword density checker" by http://www.webconfs.com to look at the word content, so I guess it is flawed in not skipping the JavaScript.  Certainly search results seem to exclude the JavaScript in the sense that if I search on the words within the JavaScript that are not on the site proper my pages do not appear in the listings.
