the short answer is that they don't.
Newt's Cape has some support for frames;
I never got around to CSS (cascading style sheets) -- though you can
accomplish a lot of that by just changing the Appearance prefs for various
tags. it can handle Java applets if they happen to use only the Waba subset
(and you've got Waba VM installed). I've got some example pages that use
both JavaScript and NewtonScript (Newt's Cape ignores the JavaScript and
executes the NewtonScript version).
