                        throws IOException
        Reads a file from the classpath (./src/test/resources/javascript/myfile.js) and executes it via the JavaScript executor. This can make tests a little more readable as there's no inline JavaScript and horrible escape characters to content with.
        Parameters:
        webDriver - active WebDriver instance
        filename - File representing javascript expression
        Throws:
        IOException - if the file cannot be found
