Actually the brainfart was on my part. I'd forgotten that a common instruction doesn't exist in Javascript, though that hasn't kept some folks from implementing one, as a workaround. (The mind boggles.)

You'll need to specify which version of Javascript to target, since some slightly less obvious solutions may involve version-dependent features.

My current solution is 12 lines long and uses only recursion and function calls and addition and variable assignments.
