How do I enable JavaScript in my browser?

JavaScript is a scripting language that works with your browser to create interactive elements in web pages. The administration interface depend on JavaScript to function properly.

Most browsers allow JavaScript by default, but if you're having trouble using Site Solution or another tool that uses JavaScript, you may simply need to change the JavaScript setting in your browser. (Don't worry -- you don't have to download anything.)
