Enabling JavaScript and Accepting Cookies

 

 

JavaScript makes a web page more interactive, with added functionality.

It can act more like a program and less like a simple, static printed page.

 

According to Netscape, cookies are a "general mechanism which server side connections can use to both store and retrieve information on the client side of the connection." In English, that means cookies are small data files written to your hard drive by some Web sites when you view them in your browser. These data files contain information the site can use to track such things as form and shopping cart data, passwords, lists of pages you've visited, and the date when you last looked at a certain page.
