That's impossible to answer in any way that is both simple and meaningful. The Javascript interpreter was replaced with a different one a few months ago. The decision was taken not to make a new stable release of NS until all the Javascript features of the previous interpreter are present again. However, some other JS features are also present. The JS implementation is still far from complete, though. If you need a RISC OS browser with complete (-ish) Javascript at the moment, you'll have to use Otter or QupZilla, and put up with the slower speeds. To look at your question from a different angle: is there a particular Javascript feature that you need?
