How to Activate Javascript for Realplayer

Realplayer is a video streaming solution created and distributed by Real.com. This software can also be downloaded onto the desktop and used as a multimedia solution. However, websites that use Realplayer embedded in the browser, use Javascript for certain functions. When users try to view a video in the browser, an error is displayed, alerting them that Javascript needs to be enabled. Enabling Javascript is accomplished in the settings of the browser.
