How do I disable JavaScript?

You simply go through the steps above but ensure the JavaScript options are not checked/selected.

If you're developing web pages with JavaScript, it's good practice to view your website with JavaScript disabled. This will show you what your website will look like to users who choose to disable JavaScript.

Other browsers?

Most (if not all browsers) give you the option to enable/disable JavaScript. If your browser is not listed above, the steps above will give you some idea of how to find it. Just look for something called tools, options, preferences or something similar.

Warning

Java and JavaScript are two different things - make sure you're enabling/disabling the right option!
