How do you turn the JavaScript on a computer on?

Question

Please help me! A bunch of websites like youtube don't work for me all of a sudden and it says it's because I have the "JavaScript turned off". I don't even know what that is! Can someone please explain to me how to turn it back on? Thanks!
:)

Answer 1

If you are viewing websites from a computer, then most likely you are using a browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Google Chrome, etc...



And if that is the case, then you need to change your Options and/or Settings for that browser application. This is usually found under the Tools menu selection.



If you are viewing websites from something other than a computer, then let us know what you are using.

Answer 2

First question I have for you is what browser are you using? IE8 or Firefox, or another? You should be able to turn it back on by going to options in the browser and then going through the tabs until you find where it is checked to turn off JavaScript. As a side note, some add-ons for browsers such as NoScript for Firefox will automatically disable Java and Flash as a security measure.

Answer 3

JavaScript is controlled by your browser, Which browser do you use?

For Mozilla Firefox, Edit -> Preferences -> "Content" -> Enable JavaScript

You can find out which browser it is by going to "Help" > "About" in the Menubar of the browser. Or you can distinguish it by looking at the Icon at the window border of the browser. For example, does it have a "Fire" icon design?

Answer 4

In Firefox I run NoScript, if this is the case with you, go Options, Allow this page.

Answer 5

it's your browser that has it turned off. under options there should be sumthing like "enable Javascript"
