Execute Tabs Independently For JavaScript

We have a Cognos report with 4 pages, set to Run with full interactivity = No and View pages as tabs = Top Left. On each page/tab, we have an HTML Item that includes JavaScript code for formatting specific to that page. Our expectation was that only the JavaScript code on the active page/tab would be executed. However, that is not the case. When the report is first run, the JavaScript on the first page/tab appears to be executed before the tabs are even rendered. Then, when any other page/tab is selected, the JavaScript on the first page/tab is re-executed, followed by the JavaScript on the selected page/tab. After that, the remaining pages/tabs can be selected, and only the JavaScript on the selected page/tab will execute. A basic sample report is attached for reproducing this behavior.

The preferred behavior is for each page/tab's JavaScript to be executed only once, when the page/tab is first selected.
