The Response Assertion tests for whether the response text contains or matches a 
regular 
expression you devise.  Regular expressions can be very tricky, and my best advice is 
to build 
from a simple one to a more complex one gradually.

Second, are you sure your javascript isn't being downloaded separately from the html?  
For 
instance, your html might have something like 
<script language="javascript" src="my_javascript.js"/>

Or something like that.  I didn't look up the right way to do it, but I think you get 
what I'm after.  
If so, the page wouldn't actually have any of the javascript in it.
