Do you have javascript turned on?

Is it Javascript or Java that is not working? They are not the same thing and iOS devices have never supported Java.

Settings > Safari > Javascript = ON.

It is jquery libraries that are not functioning properly and some of the html. I have Javascript turned on. The website was working in Safari. I tested it in Safari and I viewed it many times using Safari and it worked. I went on to it on 5/8/13 and the javascript/jquery portion and parts of the html are not working. It had been tested about 4 or 5 months ago in several diffierent versions of IE, Chrome, Mozilla and Safari.

Thanks for responding to my question

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.
Try clearing the browser cache: Setting App > Safari > Clear Hostory and Clear Cookies adn Data.
