I have recently tried to convert this site using iSiloX, but it won't work.

http://library.lds.org/nxt/gateway.dll/Curriculum/young%20women.htm/yw2.htm?fn=document-frameset.htm$f=templates$3.0

I have since come to understand that the conversion won't work because the page uses JavaScript, and iSiloX won't convert it.

Can anyone tell me how to determine beforehand, from clues in the address or on the page, which pages use JavaScript and which do not?

The surest way of determining this is to look at the HTML source and search for the word javascript. In Internet Explorer, you can go to the View menu and click Source to look at the HTML source.

The page at the particular URL you gave does not have any functionality that a page that did not use JavaScript would not be able to provide. So in general you can not tell for sure just by looking at the displayed page.
