    Install javascript correctly
    I need help to get javascript on my vista 64 bit PC.
    I tried doing it but I only screwed things up.
    What, specifically, must I check or uncheck in vista.
    I have been unable to read my saved information because I do not have javascript.
    Help.
    Thank you.

    Hi, bk39
    Javascript isn't installed onto a PC. It's code that runs inside websites that does things like checking a field is filled in or displaying the current date.
    To get javascript to work on your browser (Internet Explorer) follow these instructions
    1 Open Internet Explorer.
    2 On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
    3 On the Security tab, click Internet.
    4 Click Custom Level.
    5 Scroll down to Active scripting.
    6 Click Enable (or Prompt).
    Click OK.
    Click Yes.
    Click OK.

    The steps may be slightly different if you use a different browser. Just Google "Turn on javascript for X" where X is your browser.

    To check if javascript is working in your browser copy
    javascript:alert("Hi BK39");
    into the address bar (the box with http://... in it)
    if a little pop up appears that says "Hi BK39" then your set to go.
