How Do I Enable Java and JavaScript in My Browser?

Java and JavaScript are two different Internet applications (although the names are confusing). Java is a software that helps run other applications such as videos and graphics loaded on your browser; JavaScript is a script language that web developers use to enhance a website. To enable both on your browser, install Java and select the enable option for JavaScript.
