Would Javascript alter my own web pages.
The colour of the text has changed from black to red,blue and black.
Also I can no longer alter my web pages.
Can you Help me with this problem, I don't know who else to ask.

Regards Patricia

Do I need to keep all the previous updates for Java on my computer ? Do the updates over ride previous updates so that I can delete the previous updates which take a lot of MB space on my computer ?

Very informative. I dropped Java from a small laptop simply to save memory space. However, it will be interesting to note when I receive any notice of its need.

I deleted Java because I was told I don't need it and now I'm told I need Javascript. How do I get it and where do I download it to. Selections are confusing.

I'm on AOL & tried to register a product. I got a pop up that says you must have JAVASCRIPT to be able to do this function.I've registered other products & never got a message like that. What should I do ? Download it.

Worth noting is that one reason Javascript may be turned off is that it is also the language that was used to generate pop-ups and pop-unders. Some pop-up blockers block the actual Javascript event that opens the pop-up window, but others use a brute force approach by turning off Javascript altogether.

Because Javascript has also been used for other nefarious purposes, like changing your homepage, some browsers block it by default, or require you to proactively approve letting a javascript run when you visit a page.

Unfortunately, browser makers are still working on ways to allow us to enjoy the benefits of Javascript without being plagued by the annoyances. This is not a failing on their part so much as a problem with how functional Javascript is. The more it can do, the more it can be abused. And when we shut off an avenue for abuse, less ethical webmasters will just try to find new avenues.
