JavaScript is the high-level programming language behind the interactive features of dynamic websites, such as online forms and simple animations. It stands with HTTP and CSS as an essential programming language for the web. However, many people consider it a flawed language because of its history of security vulnerabilities. If you have an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch) and want to disable JavaScript in the Safari browser, whether for security or development purposes, you can do so easily. To disable JavaScript on your iOS device, follow these steps. Open the Settings app, scroll down, then select Safari. Scroll to the bottom of the Safari settings screen and select Advanced. Toggle the JavaScript switch to the off/white position. Many websites don't render or function as expected while JavaScript is disabled. If you encounter this problem, return to the Safari settings and activate JavaScript by moving the slider back to the on/green position. Uses of JavaScript
Javascript is responsible for how a web page responds to input from the viewer. When you select an element on a web page and something happens (a special effect or a survey, for example), JavaScript is responsible. Some of the uses of JavaScript include: Confirmation boxesSlide-in call-to-actionsSecurity password creationCheck-off formsInteractive gamesSpecial effectsAnimationsWeb applicationsPresentations as websitesProviding feedback to web developers Why Disable JavaScript
