Google prohibits javascript in ebooks

Hello,
I have an ebook which I have posted successfully to Amazon and Apple Books. it contains many hyperlinks to navigate within the book itself. when I uploaded it to google books it disabled all the hyperlinks.
below is the response I got from google support. they want me to remove my JavaScript files. I used adobe InDesign to create the epub, again, it works fine on Amazon and apple books. i am not technical enough to know what they are talking about. surely there is a reasonable way to get around this. any thoughts would be much appreciated.


FEEDBACK from Google:
We don't support .js files in EPUB. We have spotted the presence of idGeneratedScript.js file in the EPUB file which you uploaded for this book (please see the attached screenshot for reference).
EPUB file guidelines - https://support.google.com/books/partner/answer/3316879
Please remove idGeneratedScript.js file from the EPUB and then upload the EPUB file again the 'Content' tab of this book listing. Once you do this, our system may take up to 24 hrs to process it and reflect appropriate changes on Google Play.
