Active Scripting (Javascript) is disabled or not available

Active Scripting enables web sites to provide a more dynamic and user friendly experience for the web site user. It enables dynamic population of dropdown lists without the need to refresh the screen, validation of data entered and more entertaining effects such as changing pictures.

On the downside Active Scripting also allows dubious sites to pop-up extra windows, potentially read cookies with personal information or attempt to compromise your system. Microsoft and Netscape have worked hard to reduce the risks of these security threats, so that Active Scripting can be used for what it is intended.

The EventWatch.com.au and Dateclaimer.com.au web sites utilise Active Scripting to help make the web sites more interactive and enjoyable. It is important that Active Scripting is enabled when visiting these sites as well as others such as abc.net.au, cellarmasters.com.au, rta.nsw.gov.au, liveinaustralia.com.au, btonline.com.au as well as many many others.

Active Scripting as it's called in Internet Explorer, or Javascript as it is known to Netscape users is available in all version 4 browsers and above. If you are using a version 3 browser we strongly recommend you upgrade.

If you have modified your browsers security settings from the default (Active Scripting is enabled by default) you may have to enable it. Note. We strongly recommend Active scripting is disabled for mail - see your relevant Email package's help on how to do this.
