How to enable Javascript and Cookies. Below are instructions for:
Internet Explorer for Windows
Internet Explorer for Mac
Netscape 4.8 , Netscape 7.0
AOL 4.0 to 8.0
Cookies
Cookies are brief text messages that a web site can store on your computer.
The Planet Robot website uses cookies to track whether you have logged in
or not. Some people turn cookies off in order to protect their privacy, however
if you turn cookies off you will not be able to log on to the members section
of Planet Robot. If you are concerned about privacy, the latest versions
of Netscape and Internet Explorer allow you to control which web sites store
cookies so you may want to upgrade your browser.
Javascript
Javascript is a simplified programming language that is built into most web
browsers, and allows the web site to become more interactive (it is not the
same as Java, although people often get confused between the two). Some people
turn off javascript in order to avoid annoying things like pop-up windows,
and also because older browsers have some security and privacy problems with
javascripts. Since Planet Robot uses pop-up windows to display product
pictures and important information, javascript is absolutely required.
If you are concerned about the use of javascript, upgrade your browser to
the latest possible version since that will include all of the current security
and privacy fixes. Netscape 7 also allows you some control over what Javascript
can do.
Setting preferences for Internet Explorer 6 (Windows)
You may alter the following settings somewhat, but the these settings are
guaranteed to work. Click on "Tools" then on "Internet Options"
and on the "Security" tab. Click the "Internet" globe
icon, then set the slider to "medium" or click the "default
level" button" (earlier versions of Internet Explorer mary use different
wording but should be very similar).
Then click the "Privacy" tab, and set the slider to "Medium" or click the "default" button.
Setting Preferences for Internet Explorer for
Macintosh
Click "Edit" then "Preferences". In the preferences window
click "Web Content" and make sure "Enable Scripting" is
checked.
Then click "Java". Make sure "Enable Java" is checked and that "Applet Host Access" is chosen in the network access.
Finally click "Cookies" (you will probably have to scroll down to see it) and make sure "Never Ask" is chosen (be careful not to choose "never accept"!)
Setting Preferences in Netscape 4.8
In both the Windows and Macintosh versions of Netscape Communicator 4.8, click
on the "Edit" menu, then on "Preferences". When the preference
window appears, click the word "Advanced" (you may have to scroll
to see it). Make sure the Options for Java, Javascript are turned on, and
cookies are set to "accept all" or "accept only".
Setting Preferences for Netscape 7 (also 6.2 and
Mozilla 1.x)
In addition to the following instructions, make sure you allow "pop ups"
using the "Tools" menu. Depending on which version of Netscape or
Mozilla you are using, you may be able to allow pop-ups only from the Planet
Robot site while still blocking them from other sites.
In both the Windows and Macintosh versions of Netscape 7, click on "Edit" then "Preferences". In the preferences window, click on "Cookies" (you may need to click the triangle next to "Privacy and Security" first). Set cookies to either "enable all cookies" or "Enable for the originating web site only."
Next click "Advanced" and make sure "enable Java" is checked.
Finally click "Scripts & Plugins" (you may need to click the triangle next to "Advanced" first), and make sure "Navigator" is checked.
