The simple (quick and dirty) solution is to save the script in the  
same folder as your main patch:

MyFolder:
	./mypatch.pat (maxpat if it's Max 5)
	./myabstraction.pat
	./myimage.jpeg
	./myjsfile.js

Then you can just name your [js myjsfile.js] and it will find it,  
because the folder containing the main patch is always added  
(temporarily) to the search path.
