Disabling Javascript in Internet Explorer

With your browser open when surfing:-

1. Click Tools from the top menu
2. Select Internet Options from the list
3. Then follow from step 4 below

Or from your desktop screen:-

1. Click your Start button
2. Click Control Panel
3. Click Internet Options
4. Click on the Security tab
5. Click Custom Level...
6. Scroll down to Scripting (it's near the bottom)
7. In Active Scripting option, click Disable
8. Click OK to close all the boxes and it's done

Note: Make sure you select Scripting - Active scripting. This will disable Javascript when surfing the Internet, but Javascript will still work off-line (i.e. when using your computer locally). It is not necessary to Reboot your computer for this to take effect, and can be Re-Enabled at any time, even while you are surfing. Some sites rely on Javascript, so you may notice that these sites don't work correctly or display differently.

2. Click Tools from the top menu
