You'll need to figure out what the complex javascript does. Does it make any AJAX requests, or is it all local client side processing/rendering?
If it's all local, then there's no point testing it with JMeter, that's client side browser testing better done with Selenium. It won't impact the server side load test (except delay in server response time for fetching files will impact the javascript execution on client side, but that can be compensated w/ JMeter load test against server with 1+ Selenium test running at same time to gauge client side performance of site/app in browser). If the javascript does execute AJAX requests, you need to figure out the HTTP requests made and mimic that in JMeter as part of your test. You can get that reading dev/design docs, or reverse engineer/traffic sniffing the app while doing manual testing.
