Enable JavaScript in Internet Browser

JavaScript® is widely used in web pages to provide and enhance specific interactive features (such as resizing and repositioning menus and sub-menus) in the browser. All major browsers support JavaScript. If "scripting" (using JavaScript programming language) is disabled in the browser, the content or functionality of web pages (such as sign-in, customizing screens, or printing in CTI Navigator Web) can be limited or unavailable.  

Scripting can be enabled or disabled separately in different browsers on the same computer. To disable scripting, select Disable instead of Enable on the appropriate screen in the instructions below. Changes will not take effect until the web page utilizing scripting has been closed and the browser refreshed. Note that upgrading your browser or installing new security software or security patches may affect your JavaScript settings.

You can click on a topic in the Index below to go directly to instructions for enabling scripting in the selected browser:
