This is a confirmation about the problem.
It happened for me as well. The problem is identical to that mentioned
in the post on Ubuntu Forums.
To reiterate, javascript files ending in '.js' are detected as C source
code files. The mime type in nautilus is 'application/javascript' and in
gedit it is 'C source code (text/x-csrc)'.
The beginning of the file starts with a comment of the form '/* ... */'
and a line of the form 'function f(var) {'. Removing the comments causes
the mime type to change to 'MATLAB script/function (text/x-matlab)'.
