Httpunit is ideal for this IM0 and will definitely save your time and 
efforts.

I would suggest to try to run JS file against Rhino shell, 
http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/shell.html .

Copy JS file into a file, say, script.js and create in the same 
directory onclick.js with code:

load("script.js");

var pseudoSubmitButton = {}

pseudoSubmitButton.onclick = function(event) {
	code from onclick handler
}

var pseudoEvent = {}

pseudoSubmitButton.onclick(pseudoEvent);


Then run the script in Rhino shell. It should produce a reference or 
undefined property errors for each browser-specific object like 
document, window, navigator etc. Try to emulate the objects with pure JS 
   do-nothing objects/functions. Then when you can run the script 
without any errors you would have a list of additional 
objects/properties you have to provide for the script to make it work 
properly.

Most likely you will need to parse HTML page into some kind of DOM to 
feed to the script with proper DOM data but if the page/script are 
simple enough you can get away with few regexps.
