How to Turn on JavaScript for a Browser

JavaScript is a programming language that runs on your machine and displays complex graphics, such as animation or video, on a web page. JavaScript is designed to run fast because you don't need to download an application, but rather use your browser's built-in capabilities to run the script. Fortunately, it takes only a few minutes to enable JavaScript for your browser and begin surfing.

Instructions

1. Start Internet Explorer and click the "Tools" menu option. Select "Internet Option" and click the "Security" tab. Click "Custom Level," scroll down to the "Scripting" section and click "Enable" under "Active Scripting." Click "OK" and then select "OK" again.

2. Start Mozilla Firefox and click the "Tools" menu option. Click the "Content" tab and check the "Enable JavaScript" option. Click "OK."

3. Start Safari, click the "Safari" menu option and select "Preferences." Click the "Security" tab. Check "Enable JavaScript" and close the window.
