Tips » Enabling JavaScript on your browser

If you receive an error message stating "It would appear that JavaScript is not enabled on your browser" then read on for why this happens and how to resolve this error.

Webjam uses a code called JavaScript to authenticate the Webjam pages you work on. If you don't have JavaScript running on your browser you will not be able to Sign in or edit your webjam, however, you will still be able to view Webjam.

What the error message means:

• It is usually caused by security settings in Internet Explorer being on the highest level as this disables all JavaScript
• It can also happen if ActiveX has been disabled if the security settings have been set manually
• It is NOT caused by not having the latest version of Java installed – Java is completely different to JavaScript, despite the similar name. We don’t use Java in Webjam.

The solutions:

• The easiest way to resolve this error is changing your browser security setting to 'medium-high' or 'medium' – which is the default Internet Explorer setting
• If this does not work, then it’s worth installing the latest updates for Internet Explorer – via windows update: http://www.windowsupdate.com
• If this does not work, Webjam recommends you install the Firefox browser: http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/firefox/ to edit your webjam
