I don't know why such thing is happened, it sounds weird to me now.
Maybe your timing was wrong, that is maybe you where too much ahead of the time. In fact today fast javascript VMs seem the "most cool thing" of the moment. See V8, squirrel fish extreme, WebKit, etc. Maybe your "error" was to not insert that Javascript interpreter into a version of Mozilla (or Netscape or something else).
