Javascript, possible crashes

[Richard Fangnail]

How can you tell if a webpage has Javascript or not?

I was just wondering if I should disable Javascript since I've been
having mysterious crashes, and it is on. I'm not sure if I need it
on.

Thanks.

some times you need it, some times you do not.

a very easy way to control java is with;
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722

to find out more about 'noscript', log;
http://noscript.net/

i would suggest that when you set up options, under the 'plugins' tab,
'[x] forbid java'.

this way any new site you visit will have java disabled and you will
see notices within page that java is disabled. then if you wish you
can enable it.

you can temporarily enable any site you wish or set sites you know as
trusted and java will run on them.

Java and Javascript are two different animals.
The OP asked about Javascript, you only mentioned Java.

i am very much aware that java and javascript are 2 different things.

obviously you are not familiar with 'noscript'.

therefore, i suggest you log http://noscript.net/ and read first paragraph.

while you are there, read rest of info related to 'noscript' and understand
why i suggested installing.
