How to Enable Javascript on a BlackBerry

The Blackberry is a communication tool as well as a portable Internet utility. Websites now provide mobile-optimized websites to cater to their increasingly on-the-go customer base. JavaScript is frequently used for interactive sites, and mobile pages are no different. Your Blackberry does not automatically support JavaScript but luckily, the process to enable it requires only a few steps.

Instructions

1. Launch your Blackberry’s web browser. Press your phone’s “Menu” button while in an active browser window.

2. Click “Options” from the menu screen. Select “Browser Configuration” from the Blackberry’s browser options menu.

3. Choose “Support JavaScript” and select the “Enable” option. Choose “Allow JavaScript Popups” and select the “Enable” option.

4. Press the “Menu” key and click “Save Options” to store your JavaScript settings. Navigate to a JavaScript-based site to test your settings.

Tips & Warnings

• Enabling JavaScript can make your Blackberry browser vulnerable to security threats. Be sure to only browse trusted sites on your Blackberry to ensure the safety of your phone.
