If I were doing this for myself, I think I would do a wget first to
get the files local and then use grep -R JSfunc to list all the
javascript commands retrieving additional files. I would pipe the
grep output to a smart script that would wget the additional files,
sticking them in the appropriate places. Also, the script could replace
in the local files the JSfunc call with <a href=...</a> so that no
javascript interpreter would be needed to access the files locally.
