How to Enable Javascript in IE7
JavaScript is a scripting language used to make the content of a website more interactive, by adding items such as scrolling banners and interactive menus. JavaScript is a simplified version of Java, which is a full-fledged programming language capable of making applications that do not need to run in a Web browser. Both Java and JavaScript are frequently seen on the Web, however, and if you encounter a website that is missing functionality, you may have Java or JavaScript disabled. Enable Java and JavaScript to fully enjoy websites with interactive content.
