From http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/faq.html#3.6 :
3.6 Does GNU wget understand JavaScript?
At the moment GNU wget doesn't feature JavaScript support and is not
capable of performing recursive retrieval of URLs included in JavaScript
code.
Since it is impossible to extract URLs from JavaScript by merely parsing
it -- you need to actually execute it -- adding JavaScript support to
GNU wget would require the development of a JavaScript parser to be
included in the package.
JavaScript support may be included in the next major release (2.0) of
GNU wget.
