Jan 17, 2013 9:33 PM in response to Digitallizardby bhskyfly,Check to see if Java is enabled by going into your web browser's preferences. For example, if you are using Safari, click on Safari, then Preferences...., then the Security tab, then make sure the boxes next to "Enable Java" and "Enable JavaScript" are checked. For Firefox, click on Firefox, then Preferences..., then the Content tab, check the box for "Enable JavaScript". Same general idea for any other web browser. Hope this helps!

Jan 18, 2013 2:56 AM in response to Digitallizardby noondaywitch,Just to clear up some confusion here - JavaScript has nothing whatever to do with Java; they are not related in any way.
The most recent updates disabled Java in Safari; you'll need to enable it again as detailed by bhskyfly.
You should also check Applications > Utilities > Java Preferences and ensure the boxes are checked for the Java SE 6 versions.

Jan 18, 2013 7:50 AM in response to Digitallizardby WZZZ,This article has a last modified of 12/18/12. I doubt it's still applicable after the XProtect blacklist of Java 6/7 for Safari on 1/11/13.
