JavaScript is a programming language used in websites.
It allows Internet pages to be given specific functions. For example, JavaScript can be used to check if forms have been fully completed, to open small windows (pop-ups) or to optimise page navigation. The use of JavaScript allows users to change an Internet page by entering data with the mouse or keyboard (for example with a so-called mouseover). It also makes it possible to create dynamic menus for user-friendly navigation. JavaScript turns Internet pages into interactive applications, which can then be used for educational purposes.

Here you can find directions on how to activate JavaScript with the most common browsers.

Some browsers and programmes prevent pop-up windows from opening. Here you can find instructions on how to get around this problem.
