Hello,
Can someone please tell me how to enable Javascript in my browsers (IE 10 and FIrefox 25.01). I used this simple first code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" />
<title>Untitled 1</title>
</head>
<body>
<script language="javascript">
alert{"Aliens Attacking"};
</script>
This is my text
</body>
My Alert box does not display and I get a message saying Internet Explorer has restricted running scripts or active X controls on this page. I went to Internet Options and enabled Scripting to be allowed but it doesn’t work. Can someone please help me here?
Thank you in advance for your reply.
Barry

I think your running into a depreciated syntax issue with modern browsers using <script language="JavaScript"> ... try using <script type="text/javascript"> or <script> instead.

Thank you Dave for taking the time to answer my question. What I found (finally), was that it was the result of a checkbox not being checked in the Advanced tab of Internet Options under Security- "Allow content to be run from My Files". Your response was most appreciated. Barry

Glad you got it resolved and thanks for reporting the fix in case anyone else runs into a similar problem.
