Help in using Linux in the ZDV

A little help is at hand in the form of moi.

You know how when you're in the linux-pool at uni and you visit a webpage, that not all things work properly (ie buttons don't work, or clicking on my pictures doesn't enlarge them)?
Well, that's because Javascript isn't enabled. "Well, how do I enable it" I hear you ask. Listen and learn:

I presume you are in the linux pool, or at least using linux.

1) Open up netscape navigator (4th link down the left of the desktop), be careful not to click on the icon more than once, as it sometimes takes a few minutes to load, and you don't want lots and lots of browser windows open. Of course, if you are reading this on the internet, you've already got a netscape window open!

2) At the top of the window there are 5 headings (File, Edit, View, Go, and Communicator). Click on "Edit".

3) From the drop-down menu that appears, click on "preferences" (at the very bottom).

4) In the window that appears, click on "Advanced" in the left-hand pane.

5) On the right hand side of this window appear a few options. Select the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th options ("Enable Java", "enable JavaScript", and "enable Style Sheets").

6) Click on "OK" at the bottom-left of the window, and Voila !! You've finished.
Now go to my pictures pages and click on the photos to get a bigger picture !

OK, now that that's over with, let's hope that people will come up with suggestions/problems of their own that they want resolved. Who knows, I might have to start up an "agony aunt" page :)
