Enabling JavaScript in the Browser

Many web pages use JavaScript (an entirely different language than Java) to make the user experience more dynamic. The Web Transfer Client uses JavaScript for this very reason. For the Web Transfer Client to work, JavaScript must be enabled in the browser.

Refer to the procedure below to edit the browser’s security settings to allow you to use JavaScript.

You might not have the appropriate permissions to access these settings. If necessary, contact your system administrator for assistance.
