How to enable JavaScript in your browser

I like the clean design of this site, but I can't quite understand what the purpose of the site really is.<p>Isn't JavaScript turned on by default in most webbrowsers, at least the ones that a non-techie is likely to use? In that case, it's either already activated or if it's not the user must have turned it off herself - but in that case she should know how she did that and how to undo it, right?<p>Oh, well, perhaps one could say that at least this is a nice little reminder for those who have never used a menu or a preference window. ;-)<p>But wait, how would I even find this site when I need it? Should I bookmark it, just in case I ever turn off JavaScript and then forget how to turn it back on again? Because otherwise I'm sure googling "turn on javascript &#60;mybrowser&#62;" would have gotten me the right answer quickly even without this page.

I don't understand the point of this. All of those browsers have javascript enabled by default. If you have managed to turn it off, surely you can work out how to turn it back on again.

I like the subtle UI elements: Depending on which browser you're using, the the order of the list of instruction changes.<p>The non-javascript version of the page looks great too. (And moves the noscript-instruction to the bottom.)

That was funny, about a minute earlier - I had to work out how to turn javascript off! I use my own style sheet, and sometimes site scripts hate it and play havoc.<p>Not wanting to be down on the browsers, but most of them don't present particularly intuitive options/tools, might be a good idea to tell the end user what javascript first...

Now why doesn't the site use my HTML query to deliver me the content which is adjusted to the browser I use? Instead of showing me the 5 browser icons etc, it should just show me instructions for my browser.<p>Hint: you don't need JavaScript to do that.

Don't forget its sister page : <a href="http://noscript.net/" rel="nofollow">http://noscript.net/</a>

It baffles my mind that Javascript isn't hated on more.
