What kind of byte code are thinking about exactly? Rhino, the JavaScript 
engine implemented in Java can compile your JavaScript code to Java byte 
code as far as I understand:
   <http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/jsc.html>
Spidermonkey also internally uses some byte code I think to which script 
code is compiled but I don't think that byte code is following some 
format that other run time engines or virtual machines currently around 
for other languages can also execute.
