How to Enable JavaScript

JavaScript is a scripting programming language that runs in your browser. It provides the ability for web pages to respond in complex ways to user input. Our web pages require JavaScript to provide functionality for menus and many other items.

Enabling JavaScript on your browser does not create any security risk. The language is very restricted in what it can do on your machine. It is designed to only allow the manipulation of the web pages that are displayed.
