JavaScript/Ajax not working on /localhost/

I installed PHP (5.2.4), it's running fine. On the website I'm building in Dreamweaver, the HTML, PHP, and Flash work fine, running on my computer (http://localhost/mywebsite.php). But none of the Spry elements work. Spry is Adobe's framework for Ajax, and Ajax is version of JavaScript. My guess is that JavaScript isn't enabled on my computer. The website works fine on the remote host, so I know that the files are good and Safari has JavaScript enabled. How do I make JavaScript run locally?

I played around with it more, the problem was either that I'd moved the folder with all the Dreamweaver website files and either some files weren't moved or the paths to the files changed. Javascript is client-side so it should never have to be installed on a server.
