Not so well, generally speaking. Wget isn't going to do any
JavaScript-interpreting on it's own, so it really depends. If the
JavaScript was written in certain ways, it's possible it will just
magically work when you fire it up in your browser. It's not unlikely
that it fails miserably. :\

Ultimately, I think it depends on the site.
