More about Javascript

Javascript was automatically enabled with Internet Explorer 6. However, the newer version of Internet Explorer (IE7) does not have javascript automatically enabled. This change is due to concerns that users may visit unfamiliar web sites that wish to spread a computer virus. This could occur when a user takes an action such as pressing a button or link on the web page created by a criminal.

Most web sites use javascript programming code. Javascript allows web sites to provide more creative features (bells and whistles) such as the current weather conditions and forecast provided on this blog. Many web sites will continue to work just fine with javascript turned off. You will just be missing the bells and whistles. Other sites (including some very recognizable names) will not work unless javascript is enabled. If you have run into problems shopping online, booking travel or signing in to a user account, chances are these features will work once you enable javascript. A few web sites, such as www.expedia.com, will inform you that javascript is required. Others will just fail to work when you try to execute an action.

For a point of reference, a report from the antivirus provider, Symantec, noted “Many people enable the execution of JavaScript code on their Web browser. Formal studies show that 95 percent of Internet users fall into this category [2]. In fact, nowadays almost all popular Web sites use JavaScript, so it’s necessary to have it functioning properly.”

Be sure you always keep your software up-to-date, especially when you enable javascript. This includes your anti-virus program, your operating system (Windows XP, etc.) and your web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Opera, etc.). Most of these programs should be set up to update automatically. In addition, never respond to an email, even if it looks like it is from the government or your bank, if it asks you to go online and enter personal information. These organizations will never ask you by email to supply this data. If you follow these two security measures, you should have a safe and enjoyable experience surfing online.
