JavaScript is an essential bit of programming that allows you to read the text in Web sites you visit online. In fact, you will need to enable JavaScript in your Web browser to read almost any Web site. JavaScript and Web programming go hand in hand. While JavaScript is usually enabled automatically in every Web browser, this is not always the case. Also, JavaScript can sometimes become accidentally disabled through no fault of your own. If you find you need to enable JavaScript again in Internet Explorer, it is not hard to do and requires just a few easy steps.
