That's because you can't do it.

Not because it's Javascript, but simply because MD5 is not an encryption algorithm - it's a hashing algorithm.
The major difference is that encryption can be reversed to get back the original input, hashing can't because it throws away information in order to form a hash value - otherwise we would all send 700MB video files as 128 bit MD5 hashes and "unhash" them at the receiver to play teh "compressed" file. We don't, because you can't. The information you would need is no longer available.
