I understand. Thank you. 
In my distruibution, I have already included  javascript files in the ..../binaries/share/js directry.

However,
By default this is a link to a local file,usually in directory /usr/local/share/gnuplot/<version>/js.
 is not true for windows, dj2 and so on (except for cygwin).  I propose that the description of
javascript files is added into the document file in the distrubuion package.  The above sentence will
be like in the following:

By default this is a link to a local file,usually in directory /usr/local/share/gnuplot/<version>/js
for unixy environments.  For other platform, see the explanation in the document in the distribution
packages.

I am not good at English so that someone arrange the above and modify gnuplot.doc.
