Hi Slinqnes and welcome to the forums :D,


Have you already installed Java for the actual operating system or is it completely disabled? I would suggest downloading and installing this first and see if your issue resolves.

Re: How Do I Enable Java Script
Hi Slinqnes,

Okay, this may be a bigger issue than first expected. In Firefox click on "Tools" and open the Options menu. From there open "Content" and make sure ! Enable Java ! is checked.

If it is already checked , I'm still thinking of solutions.

Which web site are you having issues opening?

Re: How Do I Enable Java Script

Java and JavaScript are two different things in the browser, which require a two different ways to enable/disable.

JavaScript does not require any extra installation as it handled by the browser itself.


IE7:

Internet Options - Security - Custom Level - Scripting/ActiveScripting must be set to "Enable"


Firefox 3:

Tools - Options - Content - Enable Javascript

Re: How Do I Enable Java Script

In this case maybe the site you are trying to reach has some problems or your bookmarks are wrong.

Try this link:

http://liblearn.osu.edu/tutor/jscript.html

If you see a pop-up, that means javascript is good and enabled so it's a problem with your website, not your settings.
