If you enabled active scripting and you're still being told that you have Javascript disabled, something is broken - Javascript is active scripting.

My friend had this problem, if your using Internet explorer, well stop. It's garbage to begin with. Go download Firefox. It's free, and a browser that is hella better. Edit: If you refuse to download firefox, you need a plug-in for your internet explorer, re-installing Java doesn't seem to work. Make sure you have the latest edition of your crappy browser.

Internet Explorer is far inferior to FireFox. You really should just switch browsers...



PS- You know Ron, you really should cite since it's obvious you didn't come up with that yourself...
